The Case for Collision Avoidance Solution:
The Problem

The Problem

The Cause:
Heavy Vehicle Limited Visibility
The Haul Truck driver cannot see the objects around the truck
due to blind spots

Blind Areas
around a typical Haul Truck
Side Mirrors don’t eliminate
High risk blind areas
The Cause:
Heavy Vehicle Limited Visibility

Traditional Solutions
• Buggy whips (flags)
• Flashing lights
• Backup alarms
• Reflective tape
• High visibility colors
• Two-way radios
• Driving and Parking
procedures
• Horn signals

Traditional Solutions
High Visibility
• Clothing
• Flags
• Paint
But there still continues to be serious incidents with
catastrophic consequences………..

Benefits
• Asset Protection for vehicles, infrastructure and
personnel
• Risk Mitigation aid that delivers improved safety and
productivity performance
• Real-time operational risk monitoring and reporting of
‘High Potential Interactions’
• Improved ‘situational awareness’ reduces Operator
stress
• Industry ‘best practice’

Features
• Blind spot elimination through the use of video cameras
• 360 degree Automated object detection through the
use of proximity detection with context based visual and
audible alarms
• Positive identification of objects in proximity through
the use of vehicle IDs
• Redundancy to provide a ‘fail-safe’ system
• Integrated vision and proximity detection
• Two-way alarming for both the primary vehicle and the
vehicle / object ‘at-risk’
• Independence of external infrastructure and technology

Features
• Standalone safety system that is not reliant on
external infrastructure such as WLAN or GPS
• Configurable context based proximity alarms
• Zero false alarms
• Interface to third-party systems (e.g. Fleet
Management Systems) for proximity alarm reporting
and system health monitoring
• Reliable operation
• Ease of Maintenance through the use of ‘plug-&-play’
technology

Features
• Web Based Event Reporting
– In-Vehicle Monitoring (location, speed, inertial forces, RPM etc)
– Identify clusters of interactions with high hazard potential
– Location and duration of events
– Replay of events leading up to HPI vehicle-vehicle interaction
