Australia Mining Vehicle Collision Prevention Solution
Mining Vehicle Collision Prevention Solution
In the vast open-pit mining area, mining trucks are steadily traveling from the excavation site to the processing plant, carrying out the important task of transporting raw materials. However, during open-pit mining operations, various challenges may arise.
Challenges in Mining Vehicle Safety Management
- High Dust Environment: Some mining areas have high dust levels, making it difficult for drivers to maintain proper distance from the vehicle ahead, leading to rear-end collisions.
- Large Blind Spots: Due to the massive size of mining trucks, there are significant blind spots around the vehicle, especially when reversing, turning, or working in confined spaces. This increases the risk of collisions with other vehicles, personnel, and obstacles like rubble piles.
These issues not only hinder mining progress, causing equipment downtime and transportation delays, but they may also result in serious consequences such as injuries, fatalities, property damage, and increased operational costs.
YUWEI's 360° Panoramic Radar System Solution
To address the complex environment and vehicle blind spots in open-pit mines, Chinese company YUWEI has introduced a 360° panoramic radar system designed to meet the safety driving needs of mining vehicles. This AI-based collision prevention active warning solution integrates multiple sensors, image processing technologies, deep learning algorithms, and other advanced technologies. It achieves:
- Real-time recognition of various targets (people, vehicles, obstacles)
- Active safety warnings to improve situational awareness
This system provides comprehensive and accurate blind spot monitoring, using intelligent technology to enhance safety management in mining areas.
Intelligent Risk Identification
AI-Based Collision Prevention Active Warning
The YUWEI 360° panoramic radar system supports the BSD blind spot monitoring function. By combining millimeter-wave radar with panoramic imaging, the system intelligently detects personnel, vehicles, rubble piles, and other obstacles around the mining truck. It also integrates distance detection within a defined range to provide more accurate safety risk identification for the driver.
- Real-time Alerts: When other construction personnel, operating vehicles, or obstacles enter the detection range, the system quickly responds, overlaying real-time video footage with audio warnings. This actively reminds the driver to take evasive action, reducing the likelihood of collisions.
360° Real-Time Image Display
3D/2D Multi-Angle View Options
- The system includes four 190° FHD 1080P wide-angle fisheye cameras (with support for an additional IPC input) that capture dynamic changes in the environment around the mining truck.
- Using industry-leading calibration and panoramic image synthesis technology, 360° seamless images are displayed on the cabin's screen in real-time. This eliminates vision limitations caused by vehicle blind spots, allowing the driver to maintain full situational awareness and ensuring safe driving.
Additionally, the system supports switching between 3D and 2D perspectives, giving mining workers the flexibility to choose the optimal view for different operational conditions, enhancing safety and efficiency.
The YUWEI 360° panoramic radar system provides an effective solution for improving vehicle safety in open-pit mining areas. The system is less affected by dusty environments and various weather conditions, ensuring the safe operation of mining vehicles. It helps improve fleet operational efficiency, while reducing safety risks and management costs.
