Consistent, Speed-Based Control for Safer Operation

SCC’s Smart GPS Speed Control uses reliable satellite-derived speed information to determine when connected safety systems should operate, regardless of manufacturer. Below the selected threshold, the module enables the attached equipment; above it, the module deactivates it to minimise distraction and alert fatigue.

Speed thresholds are selected during installation using internal dip switches, with settings from 5 mph to 31 mph and an optional 0 mph mode. The module provides a consistent activation profile across all vehicles using the same configuration, supporting predictable performance and reducing reliance on manual cab switches.

Compact, maintenance-free and requiring no driver input, SCC’s Smart GPS Speed Control improves confidence in safety system behaviour across mixed fleet operations.

Who is this for?

SCC’s Smart GPS Speed Control is suited to operators requiring automated activation of safety systems based on vehicle speed.

Typical applications include:

  • Urban and delivery fleets operating in congested environments
  • Waste, construction and utility vehicles moving between sites and public roads
  • Council, refuse and municipal fleets with low-speed operational requirements
  • Operators aiming to remove manual switches from the cab
  • Fleets standardising BSIS and MOIS activation behaviour
  • Fleet managers seeking consistent, predictable system performance

What compliance does this help with?

SCC’s Smart GPS Speed Control is not a compliance requirement on its own, but it supports the activation logic required under the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) Progressive Safe System, specifically the Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) and Moving Off Information System (MOIS). Both systems must activate at defined low-speed thresholds, and GPS-based control provides a reliable method of meeting this requirement.

The module also enhances the operation of safety equipment used within FORS, CLOCS, Mission Zero and wider Work-Related Road Risk (WRRR) policies by ensuring detection and warning systems activate precisely when low-speed manoeuvring risk is highest. When used with connected safety systems, the module provides consistent low-speed activation behaviour that supports safer, regulation-aligned operation across mixed fleet environments.

  • Max Output: 3 A @ 24 V
  • Consumption:
    • On: 30 mA
    • Standby: 13 mA
    • Sleep: 4 mA

What problems does it solve?

Many fleets experience excessive alerts from sensors and warning systems at higher speeds, caused by road conditions, weather or passing traffic. These nuisance alerts can distract drivers and reduce confidence in the equipment.

SCC’s Smart GPS Speed Control eliminates this issue by switching systems ON and OFF automatically based on vehicle speed. It ensures connected systems operate only when needed, helping drivers stay focused and improving operational safety. If GPS reception is lost, the module defaults to activating its outputs to ensure safety systems remain available at all times.

What Is The Safe Loading Pass Scheme (SLPS)?

Safe Loading Pass Scheme (SLPS)

The Safe Loading Pass Scheme (SLPS) applies to tanker operations where vehicle integrity and installation quality are critical. This guide explains what SLPS is, where it applies, and how safety systems can be implemented in these environments.

What is the Safe Loading Pass Scheme (SLPS)?

The Safe Loading Pass Scheme (SLPS) is an inspection-based scheme primarily applied to road tankers transporting fuel and other hazardous liquids. It is designed to ensure vehicles meet defined safety and operational criteria before entering controlled loading environments such as fuel terminals and depots.

SLPS focuses on vehicle condition, installation integrity, and overall suitability for operation within safety-critical environments. For fleets operating fuel and chemical tankers, meeting these expectations forms part of wider safety and risk management practices.

Where does SLPS apply?

SLPS is most commonly associated with:

  • Road fuel distribution fleets
  • Tankers operating within fuel terminals and depots
  • Vehicles transporting hazardous or flammable liquids
  • Operations requiring controlled loading procedures

Whilst SLPS is most closely linked to fuel distribution, similar inspection and approval requirements may also apply across other hazardous liquid transport operations.

What are the key considerations for SLPS environments?

Operating within SLPS environments places particular emphasis on maintaining vehicle integrity and minimising additional risk. This typically includes:

  • Avoiding unnecessary vehicle modifications
  • Ensuring installed systems are reliable and appropriately integrated
  • Minimising additional cabling and non-standard installations
  • Supporting safe operation within hazardous or controlled environments

These considerations can make the installation of aftermarket safety systems more challenging, particularly where traditional installations rely on additional wiring or invasive installation methods.

Can aftermarket safety systems be used on SLPS vehicles?

Aftermarket safety systems can be used on SLPS vehicles, provided installations are designed with vehicle integrity, reliability, and safety considerations in mind.

Traditional installations may introduce additional cabling, complex routing, or non-standard modifications, which can present challenges in safety-critical environments. As a result, careful system design and installation approaches are important when working with tanker fleets operating under SLPS requirements.

How do SCC’s safety systems support SLPS requirements?

SCC’s safety systems are designed to support installation integrity and operational reliability across tanker fleets operating within SLPS environments.

SCC’s systems can be implemented using X-Wire technology, which allows safety-critical camera and sensor signals to be transmitted over the vehicle’s existing electrical infrastructure. By avoiding the need for supplementary data looms, SCC supports cleaner installations that reduce complexity and potential failure points.

This approach helps:

  • Maintain vehicle integrity
  • Support inspection readiness
  • Reduce installation complexity
  • Deliver consistent system performance across tanker fleets

These capabilities are particularly beneficial in fuel and hazardous liquid transport operations where reliability and installation quality are critical.

Supporting tanker fleet safety

SCC’s safety systems are widely used across tanker operations to:

  • Improve visibility during manoeuvring
  • Support safe operation in depots and terminals
  • Maintain consistent system performance across vehicles
  • Reduce installation complexity across mixed fleets

These capabilities support fleet operators working within SLPS and similar environments, helping ensure safety systems contribute positively to overall vehicle safety and operational performance.

Does it need driver input to operate?

No. The system runs automatically without switches or interaction, reducing distraction and error

Can it be used across different vehicle types?

Yes. It supports 12V and 24V systems and works consistently across mixed fleet vehicles.

What does the Smart GPS Speed Control do?

It automatically turns safety systems ON or OFF based on GPS-derived vehicle speed thresholds.

What is X-Wire technology?

Understanding X-Wire Technology

Developed by SCC Worldwide, X-Wire is a unique communication technology that allows a camera and/or sensors installed at the rear of a vehicle to communicate with a display at the front of the vehicle by sending a coded encapsulated signal down the vehicle’s existing wiring loom. This provides all the advantages of Wi-Fi camera systems but without any of the pitfalls, as the system is still hardwired and does not require any pairing.

Key Components of X-Wire

Unlike conventional systems, X-Wire requires no additional cabling as it uses the vehicle’s existing wiring to communicate between front and rear. All an installer requires is a front and rear X-Wire module; once they have been installed, the existing vehicle wiring does the rest.

Crucially, X-Wire technology has been designed to work with any camera products currently available on the market, not only those sold by SCC.

Both front and rear modules are housed in high grade anodized extruded aluminium, ensuring lasting durability in some of the most extreme and unforgiving working conditions.

SCC are proud members of Made in Britain and X-Wire, like a number of their other innovations, is designed and manufactured in the UK

X-Wire comes with a three year warranty as standard.

Advantages of X-Wire

  • No additional cabling saves hours on installation time:
    – significantly reduces installation costs
    – means vehicles can get back out on the road earning sooner.
  • No extra suzies again reduces installation time and costs and also means one less thing for drivers to do.
  • Automatic communication between tractor and trailer when the two are connected up as normal; no additional input from the driver is required.
  • Universal Fleet Compatibility, meaning any tractor with a front X-Wire module will automatically communicate with any trailer with a rear X-Wire module without any additional pairing or input required from the driver.
  • Safety can never be compromised due to human error.
  • Not Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or any other “through the air” method, meaning there is no risk or mispairing or of any outside interference affecting the quality of the image.

Conclusions: The Future of X-Wire

One area in truck safety that has been largely overlooked in the past, but is being discussed more and more in recent safety developments, is the rear of trucks, especially articulated ones. Anyone who has worked with trucks will be fully aware of the fact that this is the most dangerous part of the vehicle, yet to date there is very little included in the different standards that stipulates anything to protect this area.

However, as with everything this is set to change, and sooner rather than later, as version 7 of FORS, that came into force in January 2025, already stipulates that rigids over 7.5 tonnes shall be fitted with a camera system that monitors the rear vehicle blind spot. How many further versions will there be of FORS, DVS, or any other standards, before this becomes mandatory for all vehicles, not just rigids?

By installing X-Wire on their vehicles, operators will not only be ensuring they are at the forefront of vehicle safety, but it means their vehicles will be ready for any further changes that are introduced to any of the pre-existing standards, like FORS and DVS, whilst also pre-empting any new ones that may be introduced.
