I don't think the type of vehicle would matter.

If I understand the concept, the "dead line" would, itself, be advisory.
The law would still apply to crossing the stop line on the red.  Seems to me
if I'm driving something heavy and hard to stop, I should be driving slowly,
and so the "dead line" would still work.  Now if I'm driving something hard
to stop, and still insist on driving the speed limit, I deserve to get
burned.

I *like* the "deadline" concept.  Might be interesting to see if we get some
more comments on the idea.
