The mining operations represent, for the use of equipments of great size, risks of diverse nature. The smoller vehicles are exposed to situations of risk, overcoat when they enter to zones of mining extraction or when they operate in ways not close to procedures of risk prevention.
HighService, innovation technology company and services of high value added for the mining Industry, and Finning Chile S.A., Canadian company leader on the markets of machinery, mining industry and generation of energy, they have developed in joint form...
FleetSafety, a system for mining trucks of extraction that allows to alert the drivers of the presence of one or more vehicles, persons or equipments inside their radius of action. Of this form, the system this orientated to diminishing the probability of this type of accidents.
System Description
Electronic device that allows to detect any equipped vehicle that is found in a radius or nearby zone.
It operates as a virtual mirror that covers 360º with RFID and Cameras.
Keeps operations up-and-running in harsh environments, like fog, snow, dust.
Identifies vehicles / people / other vehicles that are within the at-risk zone, keeping a detailed record of ID’s and events.
Advanced versions include from 1 to 4 cameras and short range collision detectors, based in ultrasonic sensors.
Every signal or image is integrated in an LCD touch Screen, where the operator can control cameras and get ID information of objects detected.
Reduce the probability of accidents at mine sites, using sound and light alarms.
FleetSafety Utility
Mining operations in environmental adverse conditions.
Accomplishment of maneuvers of turn or exits to detours in the vías.
Maneuvers of parking or proper of labors of mantención.
Impact on the Actual Operation of the Driving
The operator will have to....
1. To look for the left mirror at
2. To look for the right(straight) mirror at
3. The virtual mirror observes
4. Horn touches
5. To initiate march
Minimal impact in habitual practices of driving.
High Standard in safety.
