Radar Based Proximity Warning System

You are here:

To overcome the accidents of heavy vehicles at the mining sites, Radar-based proximity sensors assist mine operators in minimizing the risk of accidents and injury.

Radar-based sensors deployed at the front and rear of their dump trucks. The sensors provide active object detection in vehicle blind spots without costly or time-consuming alterations to existing collision avoidance devices.

The sensors emit fan-shaped beams of high-frequency radio waves. To avoid false alerts, each sensor was configured to create a sensing area corresponding to its blind spot, ignores objects outside the area. An onboard video monitoring system allows the operator to check for any obstructions.

Each sensor is protected by a rugged IP67-rated housing, which ensures reliable operation, even when covered in caked-on mud.

Our radar-based proximity sensor is

Ease of Setup: Protects DIP switches enabled quick onboard adjustment of sensing distance, sensitivity, and output

Flexible Range: Adjustable sensing area of up to 15 m minimize false alerts caused by background objects outside of blind spot

Total Cost: Radar sensors provided active object detection capability without expense or downtime of more complex systems
