Simple and efficient collision avoidance
The PROXIMITY SMART system is easy to install and configure, and allows you to set your own warning and alarm thresholds.
PROXIMITY SMART enables automatic vehicle deceleration, emergency braking, and obstacle detection.
How does the collision avoidance system work?
The high precision measurement of the distance (±20 centimetres), with a high frequency and wide range (25 metres) is carried out by means of a UWB radar device installed on the vehicles and tags assigned to the personnel. This allows two different intervention thresholds to be managed at two different minimum distance values between vehicles, or between vehicle and operator.
When the first “alert threshold” set up is exceeded, this activates a signal on the vehicle and the consequent management of an alert (for example, the switching ON of a danger warning light). At the same time, any tags assigned to the personnel also warn the user of the imminent danger by means of a vibration and/or an acoustic signal.
If the distance should further drop below the “alarm threshold” set up, PROXIMITY SMART sends electric signals to the relative vehicles, allowing actions to be performed such as the slowing down of the vehicle or further audio or visual warnings. At the same time, the operator who is in the dangerous area is also warned by audio or continuous vibrations.
Advanced blind-spot protection with minimal false alarms
Machine-to-machine collision avoidance
PROXIMTY THIRD EYE, installed on moving vehicles, generates audible and visual alarms when another vehicle enters the warning and alarm zones, and also enables the automatic implementation of countermeasures (e.g., automatic deceleration of both vehicles).
Adjusting the shape and size of the control zones around the vehicle based on its trajectory allows only real hazards to be detected. For example, it alerts the driver to a vehicle hidden in a blind spot or one that is approaching, while ignoring those behind or moving away.
The operator knows the exact position of the obstacle, thanks to the option of having an in-vehicle terminal that displays the position of obstacles and the collision risk assessment in real time.
Machine-to-Pedestrian collision avoidance
The PROXIMTY THIRD EYE radars, installed on vehicles, and the personal tags worn by personnel trigger audible and visual alarms on the vehicle, as well as audible (buzzer), visual (LED), and mechanical (vibration) alarms on the personal tags worn.
The innovative technology of THIRD EYE, combined with its configurable logic, allows different countermeasures to be implemented on the vehicle, depending on whether the person tag is in front of, behind, or to the side of the vehicle, moving away, moving parallel to the direction of travel, or behind a blind spot.
The system protects operators and pedestrians from the risk of collision with vehicles and alerts personnel on foot and in the vehicle in the event of hazardous situations caused by close proximity.
A flexible anti-collision system suitable for any vehicle and any environment, even in areas with blind spots
The system includes a set of PROXIMITY THIRD EYE radars mounted on the vehicle, the UWB control unit, a personal tag for each operator, and a Self-Check station* to verify—at the entrance to the work area—that each operator has a fully charged and operational device with them.
The use of multiple THIRD EYE radars ensures optimal performance even on large vehicles with complex mechanical characteristics: excavators, tractors, bulldozers, and other construction machinery.
Also ideal for mixed fleets and challenging environments.
On board the vehicle, the operator views the position of surrounding obstacles via the Vehicle Terminal*. The Vehicle Terminal can be integrated with other UBIQUICOM solutions.
