Machine – Area and Junction Interaction
Machine – Area / Junction Interaction
A machine entering a defined area or junction is detected along with the objects around it, and the system decides whether to slow down, stop or carry on.
- Defined safety zones
- Slow down · stop · continue
- Junction management
- Camera option
A system that knows the area and decides at the junction
Area / junction interaction is built on detecting objects and people that enter safety zones defined around the machine or at critical points across the site. The moment something is detected, the system decides whether the truck should slow down, stop or continue safely.
The solution can be extended with monitor, camera and AI-powered collision warning and avoidance components. It is a particularly popular choice where there are few trucks but a great deal of foot traffic.
- Zone definition: Dedicated zones for junctions, doorways and pedestrian crossings.
- Decision logic: Slow down, stop or continue.
- Visual support: Live information for the operator on the in-cab monitor.
Junctions and crossing points are the riskiest places of all
Blind corners, doorways and pedestrian crossings are where truck and pedestrian notice each other latest.
- At a junction, the oncoming pedestrian or truck is invisible.
- Pedestrians step suddenly into the traffic route as they come through a doorway.
- Speed and right-of-way rules depend entirely on the operator paying attention.
- Critical points are mapped out as virtual safety zones.
- Any object or person entering a zone is detected instantly.
- The truck is automatically told to slow down, stop or continue.
From zone definition to decision
Installation begins with an analysis of the junctions and crossing points on your site.
Site analysis
Junctions, doorways and pedestrian crossings are identified.
Zone definition
Warning and intervention zones are created for each point.
Detection
A truck, person or object entering the zone is detected.
Decision
The truck slows down, stops or continues safely.
Configured for your site
Every junction is different: zone sizes and intervention rules are set to match your site.
Multiple zones
Many zones on the same site, each with its own rules.
Staged intervention
Warning, slow-down and stop steps.
Monitor support
The operator sees what was detected and in which zone.
Expandable infrastructure
The same infrastructure as the pedestrian and truck-to-truck solutions.
Where does it fit best?
Blind Junctions
Slows the truck before it reaches the meeting point.
Doorways and Building Exits
Calls a stop when a pedestrian steps out unexpectedly.
Areas with Heavy Foot Traffic
Comes into its own on sites where a lot of people are on the move.
Loading Areas
Separates moving-truck zones from pedestrian areas.
At the junction, the system makes the call.
- Critical points are mapped out as virtual safety zones.
- People, trucks and objects entering the zone are detected instantly.
- Slow down, stop or continue is decided automatically.
