RadarMetricsTM
A Camera- and Radar-based Surveillance System for Mining Shovels
RadarMetricsTM is an optional addition to the
ViewMetricsTM system which adds a
series of radar sensors around the shovel or other large machinery to convey distance information
to the operator and intelligently takes into account the swing radius of the shovel when alerting the shovel operator.

Full Blind Spot Coverage
RadarMetricsTM actively integrates a strategically-placed array of rugged surveillance cameras, heavy-duty radar sensors, and high-intensity warning lights around the shovel to provide a comprehensive view of the shovel’s surroundings.

Real-time Feedback
When nearby equipment or personnel enters the collision path of the shovel, the shovel operator is notified through an audible beep and also through the intuitive RadarMetricsTM user interface. The interface consists of a bird’s eye view of the shovel and the locations of the detected objects.
Intelligent Logging Feature
RadarMetricsTM includes a real-time intelligent logging feature: The more severe a situation is, the more snapshots are recorded. This approach minimizes the number of logs needed to capture details of an incident. Moreover, the picture record of near-miss situations can be helpful in identifying operational issues leading up to costly incidents.

Comprehensive Coverage
The optional warning lights extend the effectiveness of the RadarMetricsTM solution beyond just the shovel operator by installing a series of wide-angle, high-intensity amber LED warning lights around the perimeter of the shovel.

Accident Prevention
Allowing the shovel and other equipment operators to have a clear view of the area around the equipment prevents fatal accidents and costly equipment damage.

What is RadarMetricsTM?
RadarMetricsTM, as a major addition to ViewMetricsTM, adds a series of radar sensors to the shovel to convey distance information to the operator. The distance to the obstacles around the shovel is correlated with the view of each surveillance camera to eliminate confusion and minimize distraction. This system enables the operator to be aware of dangerously close objects around the shovel at all times
How can you/your mine benefit from RadarMetricsTM?
- According to MSHA 20 percent of all mining-related deaths in the last five years could have been prevented through the use of proximity detection.
- According to a 2010 case study, 24 percent of all collision incidents in open-pit mines involve a shovel striking another piece of equipment
- While a camera system is an excellent passive blind spot monitoring system, RadarMetricsTM is an active safety system grabbing the operator's attention when needed.
- The performance of RadarMetricsTM at night time is unaffected, while a camera system alone will be less effective.
- While many mines suffer from fogy and dusty environments, RadarMetricsTM serves as a valuable asset to the mine, ensuring a safe environment despite of the poor conditions.
Why is RadarMetricsTM the best solution?
While radar, due to its robustness in dust, fog, and high-vibration environments is one of the best suited technologies for this application, RadarMetricsTM has several unique advantages over other radar systems. RadarMetricsTM has an intelligently designed user interface to minimize operator distraction. It is seamlessly integrated into the surveillance system of the equipment (ViewMetricsTM), as a result no additional screens is required. RadarMetricsTM is easily customizable on-site for each specific machine, flexible number of sensors and adjustable range to name a few. In addition, RadarMetricsTM has a built-in diagnostic system to accurately point out any faults to save the valuable time at the mine.
How does RadarMetricsTM work?
Taking the ViewMetricsTM concept to a new level, RadarMetricsTM includes proximity sensing radars that are mounted with the surveillance cameras to detect nearby objects. The radars provide an extra measure of safety with their ability to detect objects even in environments with poor visibility (e.g. dust, fog, dark lighting). Visual and audio alarms are used to notify the shovel operator of any nearby objects to prevent collisions. The proximity of the nearest object is graphically shown on the respective ViewMetricsTM camera view.

ViewMetricsTM
ViewMetricsTM provides the shovel operator with greater visibility around the shovel by providing up to four surveillance views. The system improves operation safety by displaying the left, right, and rear surveillance views of the shovel on a high-resolution LCD monitor mounted inside the cab.
