Body Guard

BodyGuard is a new innovative vehicle and personnel safety system that has been developed in Australia to help save lives and costs of damage that occur as a result of vehicle collisions with people, other vehicles or property.

The wireless collision / vehicle proximity alarm system effectively produces and invisible shield around the object being protected. This invisible shield is created by radio signals generated by a BodyGuard unit.

Every BodyGuard unit can be configured to set an alarm when another BodyGuard unit moves within the pre-determine distance of the unit.

For large vehicles (such as Haul Road Dump truck like Euclid). The BodyGuard Sensor unit can be attached to either Front, Back, Front and Back or all 4 corners of the vehicle for 360 degrees coverage. The sensors connect to BodyGuard Control Unit(which is installed in the cab). A variety of control units are available to offer various options that may be required (such as time/date stamped logging of proximity detections and other incidents, multi-zone detection, data transfer and paging between other vehicles and fixed units).

For Smaller utility vehicles, forklifts and trailers etc the BodyGuard Alert unit acts as a stand-alone proximity detection and alert system. The unit can control a Flashing Beacon, Siren or other audio/visual indicator.

 

 

 

 

 

Vehicle Proximity Detection Unit

For protecting personnel BodyGuard TAG is a small unit that is worn by the person. The TAG does not indicate an alarm system directly but is detected by other BodyGuard units that will alarm and indicate the presence of a person.

Some machinery has the characteristic that it "lurches" when being started. If a person is standing close to the machine when this happens, there is potential for the person to be injured or crushed. BodyGuard TAG can be used with BodyGuard INHIBIT to help avoid miners or other workers from being crushed when large equipment starts that they may be close to. This unit will prevent the vehicle from starting until the person moves out of the protected zone.

Personal Proximity TAG unit

In addition to the vehicle proximity and collision avoidance function, all BodyGuard units (with the exception of the TAG) can send and receive DATA. This enable vehicle management information to be passed from vehicles to fixed units that then transfer the information back to a central computer. It also enables messages to be transferred for paging drivers from the central computer and visa versa.Truck configuration and zone setting is made simple by in-built Bluetooth device that enables a PDA to communicate with the BodyGuard system
