RealTrac Collision Awareness System (CAS)
The RealTrac Collision Awareness System product is designed in order to provide: dangerous proximity detection; issuing warning to the objects detected in such proximity; collision awareness between vehicles or between vehicles and personnel.
The product has two monitor directions:
- Vehicle-vehicle proximity detection control
- Vehicle-personnel proximity detection control
“Collision Awareness Systems from RealTrac are in accordance with the upcoming ISO Standard 21815 and RealTrac is proud to actively participate in the respective ISO standards groups. This provides our customers a unique combination of cutting-edge technology with global standardization”
Dr. Peter Stegmaier, Board Member of RealTrac
Monitor directions
Vehicle-vehicle (V2V)
- Registers dangerous proximity
- Issues a warning about a potential collision
- Decreases downtimes caused by vehicle collisions
- Ensures traffic safety in case of poor visibility
Vehicle-personnel (V2P)
- Detects a person on a vehicle’s path of motion
- Issues a warning about a person located in hazardous area
- Decreases industrial injuries caused by collisions between vehicles and personnel
Dangerous proximity control zones
After RealTrac Collision Awareness System (CAS) equipment is installed on a vehicle or machinery - 3 control zones are shaped around it.
Attention Zone
Issues a warning to personnel about vehicles, equipment, etc. detected in close range.
Detects potential dangerous proximity and draws personnel’s attention to proximity to the other object.
- Light indication
- Dashboard indication in a vehicle
- LED signal on a personal tag
- Sound indication
- Repeating audio signal inside the cab
- Vibration
- Discrete vibration on a tag
Danger Zone
Provides dangerous proximity detection and attracts personnel’s attention, can slow down the speed of vehicles or equipment.
Issues warnings about possible accidents and draws personnel’s attention to a dangerous proximity to the other object.
- Light indication
- Dashboard indication in a vehicle
- LED signal on a personal tag
- Strobe light on the outside of a vehicle
- Blinking yellow marker lights on a vehicle
- Sound indication
- Frequently repeating audio signal inside a vehicle
- Vibration
- Repeating vibration on a tag
Emergency Zone
Generates alarm signal in case of emergency or extreme dangerous proximity, can stop vehicles or equipment.
- Light indication
- Emergency strobe lights on a vehicle
- LED light on a personal tag
- Sound indication
- Car siren
- Car horn
- Vibration
- Continuous vibration on a personal tag
It helps to create three necessary zones around a vehicle or any other piece of equipment that will issue a warning about dangerous proximity between vehicles and personnel.
Control Zones side view
The zones can be configured to detect other objects at various distances from a vehicle or machinery.
Control Zones top view
The zones can have different shapes and be tailored to certain type of vehicles and the equipment installed.
The Key Feature of RealTrac Collision Awareness (CAS)
The 3 zone vehicle operator display for continuous visual assessment of the environment. This way it enables to detect any case of dangerous proximity with another object and take actions to prevent a collision or run over.
The display shows the system health and the buttons enable sending emergency notifications or confirming any action.
On the right you can see how an object enters and leaves different control zones
«Alert» zone
The other object is to the right of the vehicle along the path in «Alert» Zone.
«Danger» zone
The object has approached the vehicle at a dangerous proximity and entered «Danger» zone. The sound notification is activated and the sign «Alert» on the display starts to blink rarely.
«Emergency» zone
The object has come close to the vehicle at a dangerous distance, has entered the «Emergency» zone and a collision is possible. A permanent audible alarm is activated and the «Emergency» sign flashes frequently on the display.
Additionally, RealTrac Collision awareness System can be connected to the cap lamps, flashing beacons and equipment for sound notification. This way the system will notify the machinery and personnel about entering «Alert», «Danger» and «Emergency» zones.
Advantages of the product
Operates in any weather conditions and aggressive environments
The product design is based on the equipment enhanced with IP65-67, that ensures its use in any weather conditions, aggressive labor environments with much dust and within wide operating temperature range.
No Internet or server connection is required
The product detects dangerous proximity and issues warnings independently from server or Internet connection. It ensures its use in any conditions.
Possible applications of the RealTrac Collision awareness System
The RealTrac Collision awareness System Components
Personnel equipment
Personal tag PROD TAG 410 is a mobile equipment enabling to detect positioning of personnel regarding a vehicle with installed VBUs of the RealTrac Collision Awareness system. The tag can be embedded into cap lamp or utilized as a portable equipment.
Personal tag PROD TAG 210 is a mobile equipment enabling to detect positioning of personnel regarding a vehicle with installed VBUs of the RealTrac Collision Awareness system.
Equipment for vehicles
The control unit is installed on the vehicle and calculates the distance from the tag to the antennas and the direction of movement of the tag. It determines in which of the control zones the tag is located and, depending on this, displays information about objects in different zones on the driver's display and activates light-graphic or audible warning signals.
Antenna - installed in quantities of 4-8 depending on the size and configuration of the vehicle and is used to detect other antennas or personal tags (trackers).
