12/3/2012 - Unpublished documents and reportsDecember 3, 2012 feature on proximity detection research
-
9/28/2012 - News articlesNIOSH is developing a prototype intelligent system that provides enhanced protection by continuously monitoring miners’ positions in relation to the machine and established safety zones.
-
3/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this paper, the authors review existing proximity warning technologies, describe ongoing NIOSH research on an intelligent proximity warning system, and summarize current test results.
-
3/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper will present an analysis of the model along with a model construction process.
-
5/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH studied methods to prevent workers from being entangled in machinery at mining operations. A description of intelligent video, the technology, test procedures and results, implementation challenges, and future research needs are discussed.
-
4/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesDevices to monitor the blind areas of mining equipment are needed to provide a warning to operators when a vehicle, person, or change in terrain is nearby. Tests have shown that it is feasible to add proximity warning devices to existing systems.
-
9/1/2001 - Conference papersNIOSH has developed a patented active proximity warning system called HASARD (Hazardous Area Signaling and Ranging Device) which employs low-frequency, low-power magnetic fields which are quite impervious to severe environmental conditions.
-
2/1/2001 - Conference papersNIOSH has developed an active proximity warning system called HASARD (Hazardous Area Signaling and Ranging Device) for warning workers as they approach known dangerous areas around heavy mining equipment and other dangerous work zones.
-
2/1/2001 - Reports of InvestigationsThis report summarizes ongoing research aimed at evaluating collision warning systems for surface mining dump trucks.
-
5/1/2000 - Reports of InvestigationsResearchers at NIOSH tested a number of commercially available and experimental sensors that monitor obstacles in a vehicle's blind spots.
