Because One Collision Is One Too Many
The only ISO 21815-compliant system that actively intervenes to prevent run-overs and collisions on surface mines. Detection is not enough – HVB+ commands the machine to a halt.
Proven Level 9 Prevention
Mine-Hardened Reliability
SmartMine IoT Connected
Features
ISO 21815 Active Intervention
Automatically slows or fully stops the vehicle on critical-zone breach – the only true Level 9 solution.
Dynamic Speed-Based Zones
Detection zones shrink at low speed for precision and enlarge at high speed to ensure all detections are acted upon in due time.
360° Directional Accuracy <0.5 m
Four quadrant 2.4 GHz TOF units deliver precise threat direction with sub-meter accuracy.
HMI+ Tri-Colour Interface
Intuitive LED arcs and directional display instantly guide the operator to the threat location.
Full Event Logging & GPS
Every alarm and intervention recorded with position, speed, time, and direction for proactive incident investigations.
SmartMine Cloud Dashboard
Real-time fleet-wide visibility of near-misses and interventions from any GSM activated device.
Seamless SCAS underground cross compatibility
Integrates directly with existing Schauenburg proximity systems for phased rollout.
Operators stay alert, workers stay safe,
and management finally has irrefutable data. HVB+ turns every shift into a zero-incident shift.
Engineering Features
2.4 GHz chirp-spread-spectrum time-of-flight ranging
Direct CAN/J1939 machine intervention (slowdown or full stop)
Four quadrant-mounted ranging units for true 360° coverage
IP67-rated components, ISO 7637-2 compliant power system
Operating temperature

Configurable warning, danger, and critical zones per vehicle type
Use Cases
Haul Truck & Light Vehicle Interaction
Prevents high-speed rear-end or side-swipe collisions with bakkies and service vehicles.
Low-Speed Pedestrian Protection
Enlarges critical zone during precise dumping or parking to protect ground workers.
Night Shift & Fatigue Management
Active intervention works 24/7 even when operator attention is reduced.
Ramp & Intersection Blind Spots
Directional detection eliminates collisions at pit ramps and blind corners.
