In this case study, we will refer to the client as “Client A” to maintain confidentiality. Client A is a leading company in the construction industry. This case study details the results of Mobile360 Safety Solution installed on a skid-steer.
A near miss at a construction site occurred when a worker bent down behind a reversing skid-steer, remaining unnoticed by the driver until being signaled by flaggers. Recognizing the limitations of existing detection systems, Client A seized the opportunity to improve safety measures. This event underscored the importance of implementing advanced solutions to create a safer working environment and prevent future accidents.
Challenges for Client A
- Existing detection systems from the original vehicle manufacturer struggled to detect individuals in various postures (e.g., kneeling, squatting, or bending down).
- Reduced detection accuracy during transitions between indoor and outdoor environments due to varying lighting conditions.
- A lack of external alerts, such as lights or sirens, to effectively warn workers near the vehicle.
Implementation
In response to these operational safety challenges, Client A implemented Mobile360 Safety Solution throughout its fleet.
- Detection Accuracy: A superior capability to detect individuals in various postures, and different lighting conditions.
- Customizable Alerts: Options to incorporate external lights and sirens for additional warnings, ensuring workers near the vehicle are adequately alerted to any movement. Seat sensors can also be connected to trigger vibrations when alerts are activated, delivering an extra layer of warning to operators.
- Retrofit Existing Vehicles: The ability to retrofit across all makes and models, improving safety without the need for new replacements.
