Safe Brake Assist

Safe collision avoidance for mobile machines in outdoor applications

Your Benefits

  • Protect people and other objects in the path of the machine
  • Save time and money when integrating the system through the assistance of SICK experts
  • Relieves drivers so they can focus on their work, in particular in challenging ambient conditions
  • The calculation of the travel path reduces false triggerings and makes it possible to precisely navigate through narrow spaces.
  • Avoid unnecessary and abrupt braking for fewer downtimes
  • Thanks to SICK’s expertise, you receive system certifications that give you a competitive edge in future tenders.

Overview

Safe collision avoidance for mobile machines in outdoor applications

The ISO 13849-certified Safe Brake Assist safety system prevents collisions with people and infrastructure in outdoor areas. It does so using 3D LiDAR sensors that continuously measure the distance between the vehicle and potential obstacles along the vehicle’s path based on vehicle movement data. This ensures a safe and smooth operation even under demanding ambient conditions such as vapour, heat or rain. Thanks to the adaptive braking control feature, the system only applies the brakes in case of an imminent collision with people or the road infrastructure, e.g. guardrails. The result: Safe Brake Assist increases the availability of construction and agricultural machinery, saves costs, and relieves the driver. SICK experts assist with integrating the system into your vehicle.
