• Description:
  Surface mining haul trucks have been involved in 54 fatal accidents in the United States between 2005 and 2021. Collision warning and avoidance systems (CXS) could potentially alert drivers of hazards and prevent accidents from occurring. To ensure the efficacy of CXS, the object detection performance must be tested with a reliable detection target to represent an object that could be encountered at a mine, such as a pedestrian, berm, heavy machinery, or light vehicle. For reasons such as safety, cost, or convenience, it may be more desirable to use an alternative detection target in testing. The efficacy of alternative detection targets, when used to characterize the performance of CXS, should be evaluated to ensure that they do not cause any significant performance differences compared to using actual targets typically found in a mine. To address this question, researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted a target validation study to compare the detection accuracy of a radar-based CXS with four different detection targets. This research offers potential substitute targets that could be used in CXS testing. CXS manufacturers and mine operators should be mindful of the targets they employ as alternatives when evaluating CXS detection performance. [Description provided by NIOSH]
