Instead of a ‘beep beep’, they make a ‘ssh ssh’ white sound, which uses broadband frequencies giving greater directional information to the ear. This makes the noise instantly locatable helping to prevent accidents.” Additionally, a new generation of onboard cameras, such as Brigade Electronic’s Backeye®360 Cameras and Monitor Systems, eliminates blind spots and reduces collisions with people and objects, she said. It provides complete 360-degree views outside the vehicle, even during low light and extreme dust. With advancements in radar technology, radar systems are becoming more popular as a means of protecting workers in challenging conditions. Obstacle detection systems can detect people and objects in a driver’s blind spot and provide visual and audible warnings in the cab, even under harsh workplace conditions such as smoke, fog, and dust. Emily said: “Safety must always be the top priority in any industry. Not only does our technology protect workers and save lives, but it has gone through extensive testing in the harshest environments. Hopefully, technological innovation that continues to operate during particularly difficult conditions will help lead to a future where accidents in high-risk industries are greatly reduced.” << Spring 2023 31 “Technological innovation that continues to operate during particularly di cult conditions will help lead to a future where accidents in high-risk industries are greatly reduced.”
