  • Sound indication
    • Repeating audio alarm  inside the cab
  • Vibration
    • Discrete tag vibration

The RealTrac Collision Avoidance � Danger Zone

    • LED signal on the personnel tag
    • Strobe light on the outside of a vehicle
    • Blinking yellow marker lights on a vehicle
  • Sound indication
    • Frequently repeating audio alarm inside a vehicle
  • Vibration
    • Repeating tag vibration

The RealTrac Collision Avoidance � Emergency Zone

The zones can be different shapes and can be tailored for the various types of vehicles and  equipment at your site.


The Key Feature of RealTrac Collision Avoidance


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

PROD CAS 1000 VOD �Alert� zone 

The object is to the right of the vehicle along the path in �Alert� Zone (GREEN).

�Danger� zone

PROD CAS 1000 VOD �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

PROD CAS 1000 VOD �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.

No Internet or server connection is required

The product detects dangerous proximity and issues warnings independently from a server or Internet connection. This ensures its use in all conditions.

Alteration of control area radius

Dynamic zones: custom shape, size and position of control zones, depending on the situation

You can specify any shape, size and position of the three zones, depending on the type of technology, operating conditions and industrial safety requirements. The control zones can also be changed when driving direction is changed or the attachments or working tools are activated.


Possible applications of the RealTrac Collision Avoidance System




The RealTrac Collision Avoidance System Components


Equipment for Employees


BASE TAG 302 in the cap lamp

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.


Equipment for vehicles


PROD CAS 1000 VODPROD 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)

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)

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).
