How Heavy Equipment Collision Avoidance Systems Improve Safety

Heavy equipment is widely used in construction, manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and mining areas. In these industrial sites, safety accidents have been emerging one after another, and the injuries and fatal accidents caused by them have always been high. Many industrial sites have a variety of heavy equipment at the same time, such as loaders, rollers, cranes, excavators, forklifts, etc. Due to the frequent interactions between vehicles and vehicles and vehicles and personnel in this working environment, many conditions are created for accidents. Low visibility and blind spots of the driver are a common problem, which is very likely to cause collision accidents.

Therefore, the heavy equipment collision avoidance system plays a huge role in preventing major accidents and maintaining workplace safety.

Heavy equipment collision avoidance system

At present, the collision avoidance system of heavy equipment uses a variety of technologies. Most of the mainstream technologies use UWB technology, sensors, AI and other technologies. What we introduce today is mainly the proximity detection alarm system based on AI

Pedestrian detection and alarm

By installing this system on heavy equipment, during the operation of the vehicle, the pedestrian camera will detect the environment around the vehicle in real time. When a pedestrian or vehicle is detected approaching, the sound and light alarm will sound an alarm and the light will continue to flash to remind the surroundings. The driver will observe where there are pedestrians approaching around the vehicle through the display screen equipped with the system. Provide auditory and visual warnings to the driver to improve safety.

Multi-channel blind spot monitoring

The camera installed on the heavy equipment monitors the surrounding conditions of the vehicle in real time, and the maximum speed limit reduces the blind spots around the vehicle. With 4 cameras, 360-degree surround monitoring is achieved. When pedestrians are detected, an alarm will be issued immediately.

Active collision avoidance braking

In an emergency, when the camera detects pedestrians or vehicles around the heavy equipment, it will transmit a signal to the host, and the system will take emergency safety measures to achieve rapid braking of the heavy equipment and maximum speed limit to ensure the safety of vehicles and pedestrians.

WTSAFE's heavy equipment collision avoidance system not only provides the above functions, but also has functions such as driver behavior monitoring, driver privilege management, and cloud platform data analysis. In addition, we also provide UWB positioning, radar sensors and other technologies to improve the safety of heavy equipment workplaces.
