Cameras, Radar Systems, and Operator Aids for On Highway Equipment
As radar and safety systems have almost become an industry standard in the automotive industry, mobile machinery is following the same course. However, the systems must be even more sophisticated to account for different types of heavy equipment. Simpler systems that have a standard alarm for all objects don’t work for machines with booms or tools extending outward or within busy job sites where people work in close proximity to the machine.
GS Global Resources integrates programmable multi-zone safety systems designed specifically for OEMs in the mobile machinery sector. These systems integrate high-speed 79 GHz radar sensors with Convoy camera technology, delivering significantly faster response times and superior detection compared to traditional 24 GHz systems. Each radar sensor provides three segment zones, further divided into five subdivisions, enabling precise monitoring up to 40 meters from the machine and detecting objects as close as 10 inches.
A key feature is the system’s customizable zoning, allowing OEMs to program dead zones or set different warning levels for each area. The integration with real-time camera feeds ensures operators have a comprehensive view of their surroundings, enhancing situational awareness. The system is embedded directly into the machine’s main control system, making it feel like a native feature rather than an add-on. OEMs can easily select configurations based on machine needs with additional options for automatic braking and tailored alarm systems. The robust, IP69K-rated sensors are suitable for both off-road and highway applications, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
This full integration not only improves operator experience but also demonstrates to end users that safety is a core part of the machine’s design, not an afterthought. The system’s flexibility and advanced capabilities make it an ideal solution for OEMs seeking to elevate safety standards in their equipment.
