Newtrax Collision Avoidance System
1
Step 1 of 11

The LHD makes its way toward the dumper truck.

2
Step 2 of 11

The proximity ranging sensors flash green to indicate presence in a safe zone for remote object.

3
Step 3 of 11

Through the LHD's telemetry, the system recongnisesa loading operation as the LHD approaches the truck while raising it's bucket.

4
Step 4 of 11

A new association is established between the 2 vehicles.

The CAS system determines that the interaction is safe and productive.

5
Step 5 of 11

This enables the CAS system to create a new zone of protection around both vehicles.

6
Step 6 of 11

When a Light Vehicle approaches the "New Combined Zone" of both Heavy Vehicles, the system detects their presence.

7
Step 7 of 11

The NVD notifies the operator of the Light Vehicle that it detects potential obstruction in 20 metres.

8
Step 8 of 11

This helps the Light Vehicle operator change directions safely and avoid the 2 Heavy Vehicles.

9
Step 9 of 11

In a situation where the Light Vehicle operator is not paying attention, things can go very differently.

10
Step 10 of 11

In the event that the Light Vehicl operator reaches 10 metres from the Heavy Vehicles without stopping, the NVD will alert with a Red Warning.

11
Step 11 of 11

The Heavy Vehicles, which are equipped with Intervention Control Systems, will automatically stop if the Light Vehicle keeps driving into their Danger Zone.

This system allows the operators of all 3 vehicles to avoid any potential collision or accident.
