6.3 Dragline / Shovel to Cleanup Dozer / Trailing Cable
Handling Vehicle / Dump Truck collision avoidance
Vehicles remote to the Dragline / Shovel are damaged during swing cycles due to vehicles
being located in blind spots within the swing radius. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF
®
system
alerts all vehicle drivers to each other’s presence (within a programmed detection range =
swing radius + safety margin) using both audible & visual alarms. The Dragline / Shovel
operator should not commence a swing cycle if another vehicle is detected within the
programmed detection zone.
6.4 Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Stationary Object (SO) collision
avoidance (e.g. fixed plant & equipment)
e.g. Dozer reversing or traming forward drives into Stationary Object (e.g. lighting tower)
due to blind spots. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF
®
system alerts the HV driver to the presence of
the RF tagged light tower (within a programmed detection range) using both audible &
visual alarms. SO beacons are also activated when the Dozer is within the programmed
detection range for visual confirmation using the rear camera.
6.5 Heavy Vehicle to Haul Road Crossing / Merging Collision
Scenario
Haul Road Crossing / Merging Alarms activated by approaching Heavy Vehicles fitted with
RF tags.
HV to LV haul road crossing / merging scenario: HV approaching road crossing /
merger and collides with LV due to LV not being aware of approaching HV. The AMT CAS-
CAM/RF
®
system alerts both the HV driver and LV driver to the presence of both vehicles
(within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV unit
activates at longer range (200-300m) a set of road crossing lights warning LV’s of an
approaching HV.
HV to HV haul road crossing / merging scenario: HV approaching road crossing /
merger and collides with other HV due to HV not being aware of other approaching HV.
The AMT CAS-CAM/RF
®
system alerts both HV drivers to each others presence (within a
programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV units activate at
longer range (200-300m) a set of road crossing lights warning other HV’s / LV’s of an
approaching HV.
