Шаффельхубер

Компании Schaffelhuber и Brigade совместно работают над повышением безопасности сельскохозяйственной техники. Узнайте, как наша система передней камеры и монитора с искусственным интеллектом помогает операторам тракторов замечать приближающийся транспорт на перекрестках, справляться с ограниченной видимостью и более безопасно передвигаться в сложных условиях.

Компания Schaffelhuber, специализирующаяся на сельскохозяйственной технике и расположенная в Бергкирхене недалеко от Мюнхена, уже 122 года работает в сфере сельского хозяйства.

For several years, Schaffelhuber and Brigade have worked together to improve agricultural vehicle safety, helping operators address visibility challenges and reduce the risks associated with large agricultural machinery.

Improving Safety in the Agricultural Industry

More than 700 accidents involving agricultural vehicles occur in Germany each year. To address this challenge, the German Agricultural Society (DLG) is working to reduce incidents and improve safety standards across the agricultural industry.

One of the key challenges is visibility at road junctions, particularly when monitoring approaching traffic. Large agricultural vehicles often have significant blind spots at the front, caused by the distance between the driver and the front of the vehicle, as well as attachments that obstruct the driver’s view.

These visibility restrictions make navigating junctions particularly hazardous. In some cases, drivers must move up to 3.5 metres into the road before they can clearly see approaching traffic, increasing the risk of collisions with other road users.

Addressing Visibility Challenges with Camera-Monitor Systems

Following extensive research, the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure published guidelines requiring camera-monitor systems for vehicles where the distance between the centre of the steering wheel and the front of the vehicle is 3.5 metres or more.

These systems help drivers monitor areas that would otherwise remain out of sight, providing greater visibility when approaching junctions and navigating roads with restricted sightlines.

Brigade’s AI Camera-Monitor Solution

To address these challenges, our AI-equipped front-mounted camera-monitor system provides drivers with a clearer view of approaching traffic.

The system features two cameras housed within a single unit, installed at the front of the agricultural vehicle. Inside the cab, two 7-inch monitors display the individual camera feeds, allowing drivers to monitor traffic approaching from either side.

By improving visibility at junctions, the system supports safer manoeuvring and helps operators make more informed decisions when entering roads.

“When the tractor enters a junction, the field of vision is severely restricted. The front-mounted camera-monitor system is an assistance system that allows the driver to see into the junction.”
