6.1 Presentation
Overview
The Vehicle Detection feature enhances safety and operational awareness on worksites by automatically identifying and tracking nearby vehicles within the camera’s field of view. Designed to complement Blaxtair’s core pedestrian detection technology, this new capability broadens danger monitoring to include other moving machinery and vehicles in the surrounding environment.
Key Benefits
Improved Risk Prevention: Detects approaching or circulating vehicles to help operators and safety managers anticipate collisions or blind spot risks.
Enhanced Awareness: Enables a more complete view of the environment by identifying both pedestrians and vehicles, ensuring no moving hazards go unnoticed.
Data-Driven Safety: Vehicle detection events can be logged and visualized in Blaxtair Connect Dashboard (if connected), supporting behavior analysis and safety reporting.
Plug & Play Integration: Compatible with existing Blaxtair hardware platforms (e.g. Blaxtair MR130 and Blaxtair MR260), the feature is activated via a simple software update, with no need for additional components.
How It Works
Using advanced image recognition algorithms, the system analyzes real-time video streams to identify vehicle shapes and movements. The detection area is configurable and tuned to reduce non pertinent alarms in industrial environments.
Detected vehicles are highlighted on the operator’s display, and detection alerts can be configured based on distance.
Use Cases
Construction Sites: Detect and monitor on-road vehicles such as delivery trucks or service vans circulating within the site to reduce the risk of collisions with machines and personnel.
Quarries: Identify trailers entering active extraction or loading zones and getting close to wheel loaders, improving safety in high-risk traffic areas.
Logistics Platforms, Industrial Yards: Track incoming and outgoing trucks and trailers operating in shared loading zones or docking areas, enhancing visibility for both drivers and ground staff.
