Safemine Collision Avoidance System

Safety First – Always!

In modern mine operations there is  zero tolerance towards accidents, and Safemine is a vital part of this policy. Safemine is much more than a Proximity Warning System (PWS). A PWS is prone to false alarms as it only sees proximity, and does not assess the probability of a collision. This results in driver distraction and indifference.

Accident Prevention

Safemine uses high end algorithms to predict and prevent accidents, based on the movement of all vehicles. Safemine monitors safe driving habits, vehicle tilt and much more.

Track Stationary Objects

Internal maps hold information about the position of known stationary obstacles and generates alarms when these positions are approached. These maps may be updated over-the-air.

Black Box Feature

In case of accidents, Safemine’s Black Box capability enables movement logs to be downloaded, displayed in Google Earth, and analysed by Safemine engineers, should the worst happen.

Instant data transmission

Safemine is much more than a GPS tracking system. Tracking solutions are of no use in accident prevention. Transmission delays and GSM network unreliability makes such systems useless in a safety first environment. Safemine uses GPS for positioning, but broadcasts communications between vehicles wirelessly. Zero transmission lag, instant updates at literally light speed.
