    HxGN Mine Personal Alert is the first accident-avoidance device worn by field personnel that ensures visibility around heavy equipment. Using the reliability and precision of Time of Flight technology in the Ultra-Wide Band frequency, Personal Alert is integrated with Hexagon Mining’s Collision Avoidance System (CAS) for a comprehensive warning solution.
  • Page 4 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com  Close Interaction Reporting/Notifications: Every close interaction alarm will generate an alarm that is transmitted to the monitoring/reporting server for immediate notifications or historical reporting for trend analysis.  Personnel Tracking: All data is wireless transmitted to the server, which allows the personnel within range distance to a vehicle with CAS to be tracked on the Live monitoring web services.

  • Page 5: System Architecture

    Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com System Architecture 3.1. Overview The Personal Alert (PA) is composed by the following components:  HxGN Collision Avoidance System (CAS)  PA Vehicle Anchors  PA Pedestrian Tags The Personal Alert, combined with the HxGN Collision Avoidance System (CAS) technology, makes use of risk-based algorithms to differentiate between pedestrians which can lead to dangerous situation and others which do not represent threats based on pre-configured parameters.

  • Page 6: Hardware Components

    Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com The Personal Alert System (PA) consists of Vehicle Anchors and Pedestrian tags. The Vehicle Anchors contain a UWB ranging radio, a powerful microcontroller for distance computations and a CAN interface to transmit ranging information to the CAS. Pedestrian tags are wearable devices with high-capacity...

  • Page 8: Software Components

    3.4. System boundaries Hexagon Mining Personal Alert system is responsible for the detection of personnel wearing a properly functioning Pedestrian Tag representing a threat and provides the correct visual signs to the vehicle operator via the CAS User Interface and the personnel wearing the Pedestrian Tag based on the preconfigured danger areas on the configuration.

  • Page 9: Main Features

    4.1. Enabling Personal Alert and Geo-Fencing Functionalities In the default configuration Hexagon Mining Personal Alert is active mine wide. However, it is possible to mute the visual and audible alarms, as well as to adapt the detection zones depending on area or speed settings.

  • Page 10: Personal Alert Detection Zones

    Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 4.2. Personal Alert Detection Zones The detection zones are configurable distances around the Vehicle Anchors. When a Pedestrian tag is detected by a vehicle Anchor in the immediate proximity around the vehicle it processes the location of the Pedestrian Tag and its distance relative to the Vehicle Anchor.

    Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 4.2.1. Notifications in Vehicle Operator (CAS LED Display): Several LEDs colors and sounds indicate different threat levels of a person to the vehicle operator. Depending on the distance to pedestrian tagged personnel and on the configuration parameters a visual and an audible alarm might be generated.
  • Page 13 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com Depending on the location configuration of the vehicle Anchor detecting the Pedestrian tag, the LEDs could be shown in different locations as shown below: Vehicle Anchor Location Detecting User Interface Pedestrian tag...

    Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 4.2.2. Notifications for Personnel (Pedestrian Tag): The LEDs on the front side of the PEDESTRIAN TAG show the status of the device and depending on the configuration, the LEDs will change colors if there is a possible threat by a vehicle equipped with CAS, also an audible or vibration alarm could be generated if the threat reaches a high-risk level.

Battery End-of-Life The left LED will be constantly on in colour. When pressing the acknowledge button for 5 seconds while charging, the Pedestrian Tag proceeds to perform a hard reset.

  • Page 18: Battery Power Indication

    Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com If a vehicle moves out of range of the detection zones, it is forgotten by the pedestrian tag acknowledge function, so that if it reappears, it will cause a new alert. Alarm priorities: When the vehicle is in standstill, and up to a speed of max_pps_speed (default 8 km/h), PA alarms have priority over other CAS alarms.
