Features Benefits
• Coded object classes and unique ID
codes (i.e. Heavy Vehicle (HV), Light
Vehicle (LV), Stationary Object (SO)
Personnel Tag (PT), Test Station (TS))
• Heavy Vehicle driver receives real time
indication of the number of objects in
each class and object identification
codes and can confirm the location of
the object(s) using video cameras.
• Alarms generated when object status
changes within the programmed
detection range(s).
• Multi-RF tag operation.
• RF tag could also be used for access
control purposes when integrated with a
security access control system.
• Programmable multiple detection ranges
from 0 – 80 m (accuracy of +/- 20%).
• Option for long range operation (typically
200-300m) for haul road crossing
warning light activation by approaching
Heavy Vehicle or Heavy Vehicle to
Heavy Vehicle ‘wake-up alarm’ for
managing driver fatigue on long haul
roads.
• Flexibility to adjust detection ranges to
suit specific applications.
• Programmable detection ranges
available on Heavy Vehicle for different
object types (e.g. HV, LV, SO, PT, TS),
HV detection location (i.e. front or rear or
sides), HV direction of travel (forward or
reverse) and speed.
• Single detection range on Personnel,
Light Vehicle, Stationary Object & Test
Station tags.
• Heavy Vehicle detection ranges can be
dynamically changed according to
vehicle speed for high speed and low
speed collision warning ranges.
• Cameras can be programmed to
automatically switch to front or rear or
side cameras either on gear changes
and / or automatic object detections
• Provides driver with visual confirmation
of the presence of new object (s) without
having to manually switch to the front or
rear camera.
• High performance Heavy Vehicle & RF
communications backbone
• Allows flexibility for custom operation
and future expansion.
• Easy integration with other Heavy
Vehicle collision sensing technologies
(e.g. radar, ultra-sonics).
• Easy integration with existing mine data
telemetry networks (e.g. fleet
management systems).
• Heavy Vehicle and Light Vehicle data
logging capability for all detections
(optional)
• Able to monitor system performance and
all collision detections as a safety audit
trail.
• Data recoverable via laptop PC or in
real-time using Fleet Management
System.
