Hexagon unveils new collision avoidance system adding 4D radar

October 2024 Surveillance, News & Events, Mining (Industry)

Hexagon announced today the newest generation of its advanced Hexagon Collision Avoidance System (CAS), which now supports 4D radar technology, enhanced insights, and interoperability with the Hexagon Personal Alert tagging system.

The upgraded CAS has already been installed in 15 000 vehicles around the globe. Its standout feature is the inclusion of advanced 4D radar technology, which enables vehicle-to-object detection and vehicle-to-vehicle alarming in GNSS-denied areas. GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) depends on the use of satellites, and there are areas of mining operations where satellite reception is inaccessible or unreliable. The 4D radar enablement in Hexagon CAS means the select customers who have installed the updated system as part of its initial release, now have the capability to help prevent collisions in these challenging areas.

At the same time, Hexagon is introducing CAS Insights—a robust insights platform available for use with CAS—which offers customisable, filterable reports that pinpoint the unique collision-risk issues faced at the customer’s site. CAS Insights provides timely information about device health and identifies high-risk event areas, enabling operations to make targeted interventions to refine their processes and infrastructure to avoid vehicle collisions.

Lastly, the upgraded Hexagon CAS now includes interoperability with the Hexagon Personal Alert system. Personal Alert uses ultra-wideband technology for vehicle-to-person protection. Together with CAS and the Hexagon Operator Alertness System (OAS), it provides a critical additional layer of safety. The advanced Hexagon CAS system, already recognised for its simple installation and accurate alarming, retains its EMESRT Level 7 and 8 compliant vehicle-to-vehicle alarms, while offering a scalable pathway for safety upgrades to Level 9 protection.
