Understanding Non‑Line‑of‑Sight Vehicle Detection Underground

The underground operating environment is challenging. Cab operators must contend with blind spots and blind corners while sharing a network of intersecting tunnels with vehicles that are capable of much higher speeds than the environment warrants.

Disturbingly, mobile equipment incidents have persistently ranked among the leading causes of mine fatalities over the past five years*, contributing to a staggering 30-40% of all fatalities in underground mining. The urgency to address this issue is clear.

Our white paper delves deep into the intricacies of non-line-of-sight vehicle detection underground, shedding light on:

• The nuances of underground operating environments.
• The limitations of current safety technologies.
• The critical need for solutions that address real-time safety challenges.
• Potential pathways towards enhancing safety standards underground.
