Brigade to showcase vehicle safety solutions at World of Asphalt 2025

PORTLAND, Ind., March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brigade will be demonstrating its range of vehicle safety solutions to attendees at World of Asphalt 2025 in St Louis, Missouri from March 25th – 27th.

According to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1,075 fatalities occurred in the construction industry in 2023, more than any other sector. 22.3% of these were a result of transportation incidents, which were the most frequent type of fatal event.

Rough terrain and adverse weather conditions on construction sites greatly increase the likelihood of an incident, and tight deadlines mean work often continues through the night with resulting poor visibility.

The chances of front, rear and side blind spots leading to collisions are heightened because many site workers wear ear defenders and are unable to hear approaching vehicles or even audible warnings.

At World of Asphalt, experts from Brigade will be available to discuss the complex safety requirements of the construction industry and demonstrate a wide range of products which will prevent collisions and safeguard workers.

Brigade’s Backsense® heavy-duty radar proximity sensor systems are designed to detect both stationary and moving objects in blind spots, providing the driver with in-cab visual and audible warnings. The obstacle detection sensors work effectively in harsh environments and poor visibility, making them ideal for construction sites.

Brigade’s 360-degree high-definition four-camera system – Backeye®360 AI Intelligent detection – is enhanced by state-of-the-art AI technology to identify humans and effectively eliminate all blind spots. Providing a comprehensive view of the surrounding area in a single image, Backeye®360 AI audibly and visually alerts the driver when a person is detected.

Corey Heniser, CEO of Brigade Electronics INC at Brigade, said:

“World of Asphalt is the perfect place to showcase our safety solutions for every type of construction vehicle, and we’re looking forward to meeting customers old and new and finding out how we can help meet their objectives.

Our experts want to hear about your requirements and demonstrate our range of products. Drop by our booth and find out what we can do to prioritize safety in your fleet.”

Brigade Electronics will be attending World of Asphalt 2025 in St Louis, MO from March 25th – 27th and exhibiting its range of construction safety systems. Find them at Booth 7046.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
