Hexagon Mining will preview new and improved safety technology at MINExpo in Las Vegas, during September 26-28. This includes the company?s Vehicle Intervention System (VIS), which adds a powerful layer of protection to its highly popular Collision Avoidance System (CAS). Also in the spotlight will be the next generation of FatigueMonitor, computer-vision technology that monitors operators while they drive to prevent fatigue-related incidents.
VIS assists the operator and takes control of a machine in certain situations if the operator does not react appropriately to a CAS warning. Similarly, FatigueMonitor prevents incidents by alerting drivers and management to the early stages of fatigue. It?s a compact dashboard-mounted unit that unobtrusively analyses vehicle movements and detects operator distraction.
