PDS / CAS Safety
SURFACE AND UNDER GROUND PDS/CAS
ICAS is a critical safety system designed with reliability, robust hardware and production continuity as the key criteria. The GPS – VHF peer to peer system ensures that equipped vehicles and infrastructure are always visible and identifiable to operators via a simple intuitive graphical HMI display.
Underground:
The Patented Tri-Tech Becker Underground PDS is designed to prevent injury and possible loss of life during the operation of mining vehicles in close proximity to mining personnel. This system provides an early warning indication that alerts the operator to the presence and number of personnel and vehicles in the vehicle’s vicinity. This system facilitates bi-directional notification and alert messaging against potential collisions
Benefits
Surface:
· The 50 channel GPS receiver allows for accurate, continuous situational awareness of the vehicle including elevation eliminating nuisance warnings
· Dual VHF transceivers ensures uninterrupted location communication between assets
· The Licence exempt ICASA type approval, no additional annual frequency licence fees
· The built in predictive algorithm, and Alarm priority filtering, allows for warnings relating to the greatest potential threat to be given to operators
· The system is easy to deploy, with expandability using the GPIO unit which will allow for external interfaces as well as onboard event logging for post incident analysis
Underground:
· Patented Tri-Technology builds on the strengths of each technology to eliminate any weakness of the other technologies improving efficiency & creating redundancy
· System self diagnostics ensuring safe operation
· Operator alert options ensure warnings are efficiently given in adverse environments
· The onboard event logging allows for post incident analysis
· Modular design allows for upgradable detection points around a vehicle, and ease of maintenance & repair
· Multiple configurable zoning customizable to vehicle specifications i.e. speed & size
· Umbilical display reduces cab space required for installation
COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM/SAFESITE
Machine vision (AI) system that detects and differentiates pedestrians, machines like ADTs, Dump trucks, Forklifts, Cars and other machines.
Stereoscopic vision system to measure distance to the objects detected.
Collision avoidance algorithms built-in.
Automated warnings to operators.
Reduces potential accidents with pedestrians and other machines
NO RFID Tags required to detect pedestrians
Dynamic Zoning - The detection zone is automatically increased when the vehicle is travelling at higher speed compared to travelling at low speed. This allows the system to only detect objects that are dangerously close to the vehicle. SafeSite automatically measures the vehicle speed using GPS technology and dynamically calculates the stopping distance and warning zones of the vehicle before the object enters the danger zone where the vehicle would be unable to avoid an accident, the operator is warned to decrease speed or change direction. This allows the operator to react responsibly and avoid an accident.
EdgeDetect has built in VIDAR that can detect the distance to the berm to prevent accidental damage to the berm when the machine is reversing. If there is a damaged/no berm, EdgeDetect detects over the edge events. Operators are then warned of this event.
