6 COLLISION AVOIDANCE APPLICATIONS
Mine site collision avoidance applications for the CAS-CAM/RF
®
system are unlimited and
would typically cover:
6.1 Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Heavy Vehicle (HV) collision
avoidance
(e.g. Rear Dump Trucks, Loaders, Dozers, Graders, Shovels, Draglines, Excavators,
Water Trucks etc - covers forward, reverse and queuing scenarios)
HV to HV haul road queuing scenario: HV drives into rear of other HV either due to
fatigue or poor visibility. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF
®
system alerts both HV drivers to the
presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection range) using both audible &
visual alarms. The front HV Display Unit also switches to the REAR camera for visual
confirmation and the rear HV Display Unit switches to the FRONT camera.
Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Heavy Vehicle (HV): stationary to reverse operation where the
reversing HV drives into the other HV due to blind spots. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF
®
system
alerts both HV drivers’ to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection
range) using both audible & visual alarms. The Display Unit on the reversing HV also
switches to the REAR camera for visual confirmation.
6.2 Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Light Vehicle (LV) collision
avoidance
(covers forward, reverse and overtaking scenarios)
Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Light Vehicle (LV): stationary to forward operation where the HV
drives over the LV due to blind spots. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF
®
system alerts both the HV
driver and LV driver to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection
range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV Display Unit also switches to the
FRONT camera for visual confirmation.
Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Light Vehicle (LV): stationary to reverse operation where the HV
drives over the LV due to blind spots. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF
®
system alerts both the HV
driver and LV driver to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection
range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV Display Unit also switches to the REAR
camera for visual confirmation.
LV to HV overtaking scenario: LV overtakes HV without radio call-up and the HV turns
right driving over the LV with fatal consequences. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF
®
system alerts
both the HV driver and LV driver to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed
detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV Display Unit also switches to
the REAR / FRONT camera for visual confirmation as the LV moves from the HV Rear to
HV Front detection zone.
