System description
The Mobile Vicinity Scout (MVS) is a camera system
designed especially for utility vehicles. It provides the driver
with a clear, seamless 270° or 360° view around his vehicle.
The MVS system is used for heavy-duty and commercial
vehicles, which are utilised in the construction industry,
municipal transport and goods traffic, agricultural industry
and logistics.
Fig. 1: Top view (example)
Camera system
The system generates one image of one vehicle side, using
3 cameras (270° system) or 4 cameras (360° system).
These individual images are processed to generate a top
view. The top view provides a seamless panoramic view
around the area close to the vehicle. This view increases
the safety during manoeuvring.
• During calibration, the system crops the displayed
image to the area near the vehicle.
• Objects in the detection area of the cameras and within
the calibration area are displayed.
• Inserting a customer-specific vehicle image to ensure a
display that is accurate to the contour of the vehicle.
• Display of individual static overlays for the
representation of danger areas, swivel ranges or
support points.
• The open interfaces allow a comprehensive integration
into the vehicle's electronic system and interconnection
with currently installed systems.
Additional camera in the 270° system
An additional camera (e.g., a rear-view camera) can be
connected to the 270° system. The camera image can be
selected via the control inputs or the CAN bus.
Page 14
14
Additional sensors
As an option, up to 12 ultrasonic sensors can be connected
to the system in conjunction with the MVCU1300-1 control
unit.
Objects detected by the ultrasonic sensors are displayed as
coloured dynamic overlays in the top view.
A (pre) warning of objects outside the field of view of the
cameras is possible via the ultrasonic sensors if the
detection range of the ultrasonic sensors is greater than the
calibration range of the cameras shown.

Operation
• The driver is always responsible for the vehicle and the
system.
• Prior to driving, the driver must proceed with a visual
inspection and a functional test before using the system.
• The display of objects on the monitor can be restricted
in poor light conditions or strong sunlight. In this case,
the driver must use the rear-view mirrors, or must use a
banksman for assistance.
Switching on the system
1. Turn on the ignition of the vehicle.
The system will now boot up until the image is
displayed.
Fig. 9:
The system is now ready for operation and can be used.
Page 20

Split screen views
The video control unit has four control inputs that can be
configured at random.
A particular display mode can be assigned to each control
input. In addition to the top view, individual cameras can
also be displayed in a split screen view or as a full screen.
For this purpose, the control inputs are connected to the
corresponding signals from the vehicle’s electrical system
(e.g., reverse gear, indicators, etc.).
Top view + Rear view

If the relevant inputs are subsequently activated by
engaging the reverse gear or turning on the indicator, the
video control unit automatically switches to the
corresponding image.
Page 21
21
Ultrasound sensors
As an option, the MVS system can be supplemented with 12
ultrasonic sensors.
This way, the system will receive a warning if objects are in
the field of view of the cameras.
If the detection range of the ultrasonic sensors is larger than
the calibration range of the cameras, the system can also
warn of objects outside the field of view of the cameras.
The display is done, using dynamic graphical overlays in the
top view. An acoustic warning is also signalled (if a buzzer
is connected).
