system is integrated with VIMS and
other on-board computers, enabling it
to switch into camera-only mode when
the machine travels beyond 66 ft.
Using a combination of short-range
radars, medium-range radars and four
cameras, the system monitors and
shows the operator the areas immediately around the truck. The radar
information is processed by a new
on-board touch-screen display, which
alerts the operator with a visual indication followed by an audible alarm if the
truck is put into gear. The cameras
enable the operator to identify what
the radars detect.

Since 1947 FSF has been providing manganese crusher parts for the mining, quarry, and aggregate
industries, compiling an extensive selection of wear parts for the end user. All parts are cast in Hadfield
manganese with a 2% chromium addition – a process proven to provide some of the best wear profiles
to date, dollar for dollar. FSF continues to research various ranges of manganese content and altered
heat treating combinations to better serve our customers’ needs.

System provides the operator with
multiple types of warnings, both audible and visual. Three different levels
of alarms indicate the proximity of an
object or the urgency of taking action
to avoid an object.
The system is wholly contained on
the machine and does not require any
off-board infrastructure. The system is
scalable, allowing miners to start with
just the four cameras and add radars
later. And the touch-screen interface
is easy to learn, says the company,
which minimizes training time.
The system works automatically.
Turning on the machine provides power
to the system. When the machine
stops, the system goes to active mode,
and it goes into camera-only mode after
the machine travels beyond the coverage area (66 ft.). Once the machine
is again at a complete stop, the radar
system reactivates.
Radar detects both moving and
still objects, and camera views are
available at all times. Additionally,
any critical zone warning that has
not been acknowledged will trigger
an audible alarm. When the audible
alarm is active the camera view will
switch automatically to the zone that
has a detected object. In the event of
multiple objects, the camera view will
toggle between camera views in zones
with objects.
It will be available for many current
models of large mining trucks in 2010,
and is expected to eventually make its
way to quarry-size haulers.
