Aggregates

Prevent collisions in the most extreme conditions

Enhancing visibility and removing blind spots around the massive vehicles employed in aggregates sites is essential for reducing accidents in the industry.

With heavy machinery operating in harsh environmental and weather conditions, the risk of collisions with people and other vehicles is high. Operator situational awareness can be constrained not just by blind spots around the vehicle, but also by dust, rain, snow, low light, and darkness. The loud noise and heavy vibrations produced by the vehicles can also make it extremely difficult for operators to hear conventional safety alerts.

Pinpoint people and obstacle detection capabilities that are optimized to prevent false alerts are essential for eliminating blind spots and alerting equipment operators of potential safety hazards, including staff and visitors wandering too close while talking their phone and encroaching machines and vehicles.

Advanced sensor fusion technology that combines camera and radar detection capabilities is the most effective solution for preventing collisions on aggregates sites because it has the ability to operate in all types of weather, lighting, and other environmental conditions. Rich 360° surround view video that stitches live feeds from multiple cameras for display on the in-cabin screen further enhances the operator’s situational awareness and ensures that they can react in a timely manner to unanticipated safety hazards.

Driver safety system features that detect drowsiness, distractedness, and dangerous behaviors such as smoking and smartphone usage provide an additional method for increasing the safety of aggregates vehicles by alerting the operator whenever they identify signs of stress, distraction, and risky behavior.

Capturing rich collision warning, driver safety alert, and vehicle tracking and utilization data in real-time on the cloud opens up additional opportunities for garnering deeper insights into your aggregates fleet operations that will enable you to further boost worksite safety and productivity.

The integration of precise and dependable people and obstacle detection technologies not only reduces the risk of accidents on aggregates sites through smarter and more comprehensive accident prevention measures. It also leads to substantial savings on insurance premiums, legal expenses, regulatory fines and inspections, and vehicle repair, maintenance, and downtime costs – not mention increasing the peace of mind for staff and visitors alike.
