Hexagon?s new technology
Hexagon Mining will preview new and improved safety technology at MINExpo in Las Vegas. This includes Vehicle Intervention System (VIS), which adds a powerful layer of protection to its 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.
