Intervention When It Matters.
The SCAS II Level 9 Vehicle System is an advanced collision prevention and intervention system for trackless mobile machinery, providing warnings, operational guidance, and automated crawl/stop commands in hazardous scenarios.
Proven Level 9 Protection
Built for Harsh Mining Environments
Seamless System Integration
Features
Automated Level 9 Intervention
Sends Level 9 crawl or stop commands when a collision is imminent.
Dual-RF Communication
Uses UHF2 for device discovery and UHF1 for precise time-of-flight ranging.
Three Zone Detection
Assigns threats to warning, danger, and critical zones for accurate risk assessment.
Vehicle–Pedestrian Interaction
Detects pedestrians’ tags and activates visual and audible warnings to reduce interaction risks.
Vehicle–Vehicle Coordination
Supports Vehicle to Vehicle acknowledgment for safer vehicle interactions and controlled interlocks.
Comprehensive Diagnostics
Built-in test functions identify faults across units, and communication channels.
Flexible Integration
Works with OEM and third-party J1939 CAN interfaces.
Robust Hardware Architecture
Purpose-built for harsh underground environments with vibration-resistant modules.
SCAS II gives operators real-time awareness and automated intervention,
reducing the risk of high-impact incidents in demanding underground environments.
Engineering Features
UHF1 (2.4 GHz) TOF ranging for precise distance measurement.
UHF2 (868 MHz) for device discovery and OTA communication.
VMU/VDU integrated diagnostics, relay control, and quadrant displays.
Directional Ranging Units (RU) for quadrant-based detection.
IO Unit with configurable digital inputs, relays, and CAN bus channels.
ISO21815-2:2021 Level-9 automated stop & crawl.
Use Cases
Underground LHD Operations
Automatically slows or stops LHDs when pedestrians or vehicles enter critical zones.
Shift Movement
Detects multiple pedestrian tags during personnel movement, triggering warnings and preventing unsafe vehicle operation.
Multi-Vehicle Interactions
Manages vehicle to vehicle acknowledgment and prevents unintended movement near other machines.
