Once RealTrac Collision Avoidance equipment is installed on the vehicle or machinery � - 3 control zones are shaped around it.
Issues a warning to personnel about vehicles, equipment, etc. detected in close range.
Detects potential dangerous proximity and draws personnel�s attention to proximity to the other object.
Provides dangerous proximity detection and attracts personnel�s attention, can slow down the speed of vehicles or equipment.
Issues warnings about possible accidents and draws personnel�s attention.
Generates alarm signal in case of emergency or extreme dangerous proximity, can stop vehicles or equipment.
It helps to create three necessary zones around a vehicle or any other piece of equipment that will issue a warning about dangerous proximity between vehicles and personnel.
The zones can be configured to detect other objects at various distances from the vehicle or machinery.
The zones can be different shapes and can be tailored for the various types of vehicles and equipment at your site.
The 3 Zone Vehicle Operator Display allows for continuous visual assessment of the environment. This enables it to detect any case of dangerous proximity with another object and take actions to prevent a collision or run over.
The display shows the system health and the buttons enable sending emergency notifications or confirming any action.
On the right you can see how an object enters and leaves the different control zones
�Alert� zone
The object is to the right of the vehicle along the path in �Alert� Zone (GREEN).
�Danger� zone
The object has approached the vehicle at a dangerous proximity and entered �Danger� zone (YELLOW). The sound notification is activated and the sign �Alert� on the display starts to blink .
�Emergency� zone
The object has come close to the vehicle at a dangerous distance, has entered the �Emergency� zone (RED) and a collision is possible. A permanent audible alarm is activated and the �Emergency� sign flashes frequently on the display.
Additionally, RealTrac Collision Avoidance System can be connected to cap lamps, flashing beacons and equipment for sound notification. This way the system will notify the machinery and personnel about entering �Alert�, �Danger� and �Emergency� zones.
Personal tags (trackers) - are given to company employees to determine their positioning relative to the vehicle with the installed Collision Avoidance System VBUs. Personal tags can be embedded into a cap lamp or be designed as a portable device.
PROD CAS 1000 VOD
Vehicle Operator Display (VOD) - is installed in the driver's cabin and serves for visual assessment of the environment around the vehicle, regarding dangerous proximity and monitoring the systems state.
PROD CAS 1000 VCU
Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) - is installed on a vehicle and calculates the distance from the tag to the VBUs and the tag�s direction of movement. The VCU determines which of the control zones the tag is located in and, depending on this, displays the information about objects in different zones to the driver and activates light and/or audible alerts.
PROD CAS 1000 VBU
Vehicle Beacon Unit (VBU) � is utilized to detect other VBUs or personal tags . The number of VBUs installed on a vehicle depends on the size and configuration of the vehicle (usually 4-8 units).
