Personnel Vehicle Detection System (PVDS)

The MineCom Personnel Vehicle Detection System (PVDS) was developed to increase safety around large vehicles. The PVDS provides a designated safety barrier that makes the driver aware of personnel and other vehicles encroaching on the vehicle. A display within the cabin alerts the operator when a person or vehicle is within the designated zone.

Personnel Detection System (PDS)

The MineCom Personnel Detection System (PDS) was developed to prevent injury and loss of life to personnel working in close proximity to vehicles and machinery or in a hazardous environment.

A single tag can serve multiple uses, such as:
• Locating or identifying personnel, opening pedestrian gates/doors and providing restricted access to specified areas.
• Act as an early warning system for a person entering a hazardous location, automatically activating an audio warning if an individual enters the area. As a last resort, it can also shutdown the engine of a vehicle or machine.
• PDS can also control the amount of people allowed into a confined area, such as a vehicle or train.

Tags come in various ranges and sizes, with customized solutions including adding to a miner’s cap lamp, sewn into clothing, placed in a pouch on a belt or produced as a swipe card.

VORAD

VORAD is a military-based technology using radar technology and sophisticated software to track up to 20 potential hazards in a vehicle’s intended path. A collision avoidance system, VORAD assists drivers to see in situations such as darkness, fog, snow, rain and dust.

The VORAD system makes vehicle operators aware of safe operating distances and conditions them to avoid hazards. Safe distances are fully programmable through the software, allowing for zones to be set up for different vehicle types.
