AI Pedestrian Detection Systems Buyers Guide

An evaluation framework for EHS, Operations, IT, Finance, Legal, Engineering, and Procurement teams.

Who This Guide Is For?

The checklist style guide outlines the most important concerns for each department. It provide an excellent framework to build a coalition in your company. Understanding other departments concerns and objectives can make EHS projects succeed.

► Plant Managers - implementing safety quickly on the fleet.
► Operations Managers - protecting throughput and uptime
► IT / Network Team - assessing cybersecurity and system design
► Legal Department - reviewing AI policy, liability, and risk
► Procurement Group - sourcing scalable, predictable systems
► Finance Department - validating ROI, loss ratios and insurance
► Engineering Teams - managing installation and maintenance
► EHS / Safety Groups - recommending AI safety technology

If your operation uses forklifts, loaders, excavators or other industrial vehicles around pedestrians, this checklist guide provides a neutral evaluation structure.

TESTING PROCESS:

Riodatos Validation Unit Offer

The validation unit program is designed to move buyers from evaluation to confidence. It begins by validating performance in real operating conditions, confirming driver adoption, and ensuring alert reliability where forklifts and pedestrians actually interact.

 

Validation units reduce deployment risk by proving the system before scale. Once performance is confirmed, the process supports a structured “prove and scale” approach, enabling consistent global installation, continued training, and long-term reliability backed by warranty support.

AI Pedestrian Detection Systems

“Pedestrian safety is a priority in industrial facilities. The challenge is deploying reliable, real-time detection at the point of risk. This Buyer’s Guide helps cross-functional teams evaluate pedestrian detection systems based on real operating conditions and operator acceptance, not individual product features. The goal is to make informed and defensible safety decisions.”

- John Buttery, CEO at Riodatos
