Protecting trucks
Due to the size, height and speed of haul trucks along with the constantly changing operating conditions, the driver often has poor visibility. Front-end and rear-end collisions as well as departures from the fixed track can occur in a mine. The MINESIC object detection system monitors critical zones around the vehicle and also takes the current driving conditions into consideration. A road departure warning provides guidance to the haul truck operator along the haul road and alerts the operator if the haul truck is about to leave the safe driving path.
