4.2. Personal Alert Detection Zones
The detection zones are configurable distances around the Vehicle Anchors. When a Pedestrian tag
is detected by a vehicle Anchor in the immediate proximity around the vehicle it processes the location
of the Pedestrian Tag and its distance relative to the Vehicle Anchor. Within three different zones, the
PA system will react differently providing visual, audible and vibratory alerts to the vehicle operators
and personnel.
There are four possible danger zones that are configurable, and each one of them will represent a
different notification to users:
 Cabin Detection Zone: This zone represents the distance on where the vehicle operators are
usually sitting, all alarms within this distance are suppressed on both Pedestrian Tag and CAS,
as well as on other PA-equipped vehicles.
 Far Detection Zone: This zone represents the distance on where vehicle operators and
personnel would be visually warned about each other, showing the direction of detection on
the vehicle LED display.
 Near Detection Zone: This zone represents the distance on where both vehicle operators and
personnel are still warned visually, but with higher intensity.
 Close Detection Zone (Danger Zone): This zone represents the distance on where vehicle
operators and personnel are in danger of suffering from an accident, and all possible alert
mechanisms are used to invoke an action of the operator and personnel. An audible alarm on
the CAS LEDs will only be triggered if the personnel is within the danger zone and the vehicle
is moving below the PA speed threshold in the direction of the personnel.
