We’re a family-owned business with over 47 years of experience improving fleet safety with automatic reverse braking systems
At Global Sensor Systems, we’ve spent decades saving lives and reducing backing accidents with automatic reverse braking technology designed for heavy-duty trucks.
OUR STORY
How It All Began
47 years ago, Global Sensor Systems developed their innovative Search Eye Automatic Braking System.
It was one of the first fleet management safety devices to succeed and remains the only automatic braking system that helps prevent backing accidents for commercial vehicles on the market today.
Gordon Cooper (Current CEO at Global) witnesses a truck backing up and gets inspired to create a similar device. He shares the idea with his brother Richard Cooper. After conducting research, Gordon approaches Disposal Services and meets Harry Chad, who expresses the need for a device to prevent trucks from backing into objects.
Operational Excellence
Gordon developed rough sketches and drafts for the concept and shared them with Richard. They, along with their father Charles, spend a year designing and testing the product in their garage.
Global Sensor Systems Inc. was officially established, with Disposal Services being one of their first customers. The automatic reverse braking system gains popularity in the waste disposal industry. At Global, we envision a world where backing accidents are a thing of the past, and drivers can confidently navigate their vehicles without the fear of causing harm.
