Problem: Integration – Safety stop

If the driver decides to jump out of the vehicle while it is still moving the vehicle could very possibly cause hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of damage as well as putting everyone on the mine site in danger.

Other examples:

Fatigue monitoring integration – the PowerMate can read the data and if the driver falls asleep and the system fails to wake him the PowerMate can stop the vehicle

Collision avoidance systems integration – the PowerMate can read the data and if the driver doesn’t take notice of the warnings and an accident is imminent the PowerMate can stop the vehicle.

Solution:

The PowerMate will track various sensors on the vehicle and have certain actions pre-set to occur if an event takes place. So if a door is opened while the vehicle is moving it will automatically stop the truck stopping it from rolling unmanned into the mine site preventing any potential loss of life and damage to the mine site

Outcome:

Any potential danger to human life and damage to the mine site and the vehicle is averted.
