  2. Collision avoidance

Collision avoidance systems

Collision avoidance technology improves safety and efficiency across various mobile equipment applications by detecting, classifying, and preventing potential collisions. This reduces the risk of collisions, minimizes damage, and ensures the safety of both operators and bystanders.

Object detection

Identify nearby objects and issue early warnings based on their threat level, determined by their size and shape.

Object classification

Detect dangerous objects, classify them, and predict their behavior. Enhanced situational awareness for operators is achieved through warnings or interventions based on the system's adaptive responses.

Accident prevention

When a collision is imminent, the system can automatically apply the brakes. If the collision is less immediate, the system will reduce vehicle speed or adjust the trajectory.

Comparison of collision avoidance technology

Through continuous innovation and integration with emerging technologies, collision avoidance systems continue to evolve, offering sophisticated solutions for object detection, classification, and accident prevention in diverse mobile equipment scenarios.
