Smart7

Every Smart7 solution comes Roadside Safety ready. Engaging the hazard lights in the cab triggers H.E.L.P.® Lighting Alerts at the scene and H.E.L.P.® Digital Alerts to approaching drivers, so the stopped trailer is both visible and communicated before it is in sight. Seamless retrofit for Smart7s means easy updates to existing solutions. 

Connect1 Platform

All your Roadside Safety insights with brake, tire, and cargo intelligence in one dashboard. Know where your stopped trailers are, current alerts, and which assets need attention.

What is ESS’s H.E.L.P.® Lighting Alert system? 

Through a partnership with Emergency Safety Solutions (ESS), the Phillips Connect platform activates H.E.L.P.® (Hazard Enhanced Location Protocol) when a trailer is stopped on the shoulder. In the Class 8 fleet context, H.E.L.P.® is deployed as H.E.L.P. DeliverSAFE®, ESS’s configuration for commercial trucks and trailers. 

When a driver activates the hazard lights, H.E.L.P.® Lighting Alerts flash the trailer’s lights in a distinctive high-visibility pattern, while H.E.L.P.® Digital Alerts send real-time warnings to approaching drivers through navigation apps and in-dash systems, giving them earlier awareness before the stopped trailer is in sight.
