RadarMetrics
A Camera- and Radar-based Surveillance System for Mining Shovels
RadarMetrics 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. This complete system enables the operator to be aware of dangerously close objects
around the equipment at all times.

Full Blind Spot Coverage
RadarMetrics is a highly customizable system. The radar proximity sensors can be added or removed on-site to provide the best coverage possible.

Real-time Feedback
When an object is detected to be in close proximity to the shovel, the surveillance view, which shows the object, displays a red border and the location is indicated on a top view diagram of the shovel.

Intelligent Logging Feature
RadarMetrics 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.

What is RadarMetrics?
RadarMetrics, 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 RadarMetrics?
- 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.
- While a camera system is an excellent passive blind spot monitoring system, RadarMetrics is an active safety system grabbing the operator's attention when needed.
- The performance of RadarMetrics at night time is unaffected, while a camera system alone will be less effective.
- While many mines suffer from fogy and dusty environments, RadarMetrics serves as a valuable asset to the mine, ensuring a safe environment despite of the poor conditions.
Why is RadarMetrics 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, RadarMetrics has several unique advantages over other radar systems. RadarMetrics 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. RadarMetrics is easily customizable on-site for each specific machine, flexible number of sensors and adjustable range to name a few. In addition, RadarMetrics has a built-in diagnostic system to accurately point out any faults to save the valuable time at the mine.
How does RadarMetrics work?
Taking the ViewMetricsTM concept to a new level, RadarMetrics 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.
