Collision avoidance system

In its basic version, AWIA Horyzont^® works perfectly as a support element in the organisation of vehicle traffic, including forklift trucks, backhoe loaders, cranes and various types of machines. The system drastically improves the driver’s orientation in the field by providing early warning of the possibility of a machine-human collision.

Functionality

• monitoring of the area around the vehicle
• display, on the colour Terminal of the operator, the information about the direction of the approaching person and his/her distance to the vehicle divided into 3 ranges
• warning the operator by means of optical and acoustic signals of the presence of a worker
• detection of persons equipped with a personal Transmitter within a radius of up to 18 metres around the vehicle and up to 30 metres in open areas

AWIA Horyzont^® can also prevent accidental collisions between vehicles and pedestrians in the areas of: pedestrian crossings, intersections, corridors and traffic routes. It detects vehicles entering the area and warns all traffic participants.

Functionality

• monitoring of the logistics infrastructure such as intersections, passageways, corridors and other places for infringements committed by vehicles
• warning, by means of sound and light signals, pedestrian workers and other people in the monitored area of the possibility of contact with a vehicle

* the solution has the possibility of automatically activating “turtle mode” on a forklift truck

AWIA Horyzont^® in this variant improves safety for those working in reloading zones, especially on ramps.

Functionality

• monitoring of the internal and external loading area of the ramp
• detection of the entry of a forklift truck into a monitored area
• detection of the departure of the loaded vehicle from the ramp
• informing the driver of the vehicle to be loaded and other users of the presence of the forklift on the trailer and the internal loading area of the ramp
• warning the forklift operator of a dangerous movement (departure) of the loaded vehicle away from the ramp
