BacksenseĀ® Radar Detection

Why BacksenseĀ® Radar Obstacle Detection for Commercial Vehicles and Machines?
Industries such as mining, quarrying, agriculture and construction use machines and plant equipment, which by their very nature pose a danger if they are not managed safely.
Blind spots tend to be much larger on these vehicles and include not only the rear and nearside but also the front, especially with elevated driver positions. Terrains are harsh, vehicles are exposed to the elements more aggressively while thick dust and darkness decrease visibility further.
The ISO 5006 standard for earthmoving equipment addresses the problem of blind spots around a vehicle. It states that in order to enable proper, effective and safe operation the operator must be able to ādetect the presence of a standing person (of approximately. 1.5m tall), 1m out from the perimeter of the machine.ā Camera monitor systems provide this to some extent, but in difficult conditions, a range of complementary devices are vital to give visual and audible operator warnings.
Designed to Accurately Detect People and Objects in Blind Spots
BacksenseĀ® heavy-duty radar proximity sensor systems are designed to detect people and objects in blind spots, significantly reducing accidents. They detect stationary and moving objects, providing the driver with in-cab visual and audible warnings ā alerting the operator whose attention cannot be focused on all danger areas. BacksenseĀ® obstacle detection sensors work effectively in harsh environments and in poor visibility including darkness, smoke and fog.
BacksenseĀ® Radar sensors are available in fixed detection range models and fully programmable models allowing bespoke detection areas and the ability to calibrate-out fixed objects or bodywork.

BacksenseĀ® CAN Radar
For OEM and specialist application markets, Brigadeās Network Radar allows you to connect and link up to 8 sensors to cover large, sometimes complex blind spot zones around a vehicle or machine.
The system provides object detection in CAN (Controller Area Network) message format which may be processed to display data on control panels/displays on the vehicle or used to interact with aspects of the machine.
Each connected radar sensor is allocated a unique ID and will transmit data for up to 8 closest objects.
With a detection range of up to 30m length and 10m width, it provides a flexible system to meet customer specific requirements.
- Provides object detection in CAN message format
- Independent CAN Bus may communicate with existing CAN network via CAN Gateway
- Separate CAN message & ID for each object detected (up to 8 per sensor)
