Collision prevention that intervenes — not just beeps.

MHSA regulation 8.10 requires mines to prevent collisions between trackless mobile machinery and between TMM and pedestrians — and for underground diesel TMM, the machine must detect, warn and automatically intervene (slow and brake) to the EMESRT Level 9 standard. addanode delivers proximity detection that meets that bar, proven for real underground and surface conditions, with the event logging your compliance record needs.

What we deliver

Detect → warn → intervene, with the evidence.

Detection

Proximity detection sized to your fleet and environment — surface haul roads and underground workings where dust, curves and reflective metal break naive systems.

Warning & intervention

Operator and pedestrian warnings, and EMESRT Level 9 machine intervention that retards and brakes the TMM when no one acts — integrated with the vehicle's controls.

Compliance evidence

Every detection and intervention event logged and reportable, so you can demonstrate due diligence and find your real interaction hotspots.

How we scope it

Specified to the law, proven for your site.

Risk-assess the interactions — map every place TMM and people meet, surface and underground, and rank by collision risk.
Specify to EMESRT Level 9 — detect–warn–intervene, so you measure vendors against the regulation, not the cheapest warning-only box.
Choose detection proven for your conditions — with evidence from comparable workings, not a clean-demo render.
Integrate the intervention layer — the engineering of connecting the system to the machine's controls, planned properly.
Log, report and maintain — on the addaNet platform, alongside person location and occupational hygiene for one safety picture.

The bar in one line: if a system stops at warnings (lights and alarms), it does not meet the EMESRT Level 9 intervention requirement for underground TMM. Insist on the machine-intervention layer.

Regulatory references are for orientation; confirm current requirements against the latest Mine Health and Safety Regulations and your appointed advisers.

Frequently asked

Collision-prevention questions.

For the full regulatory background, see our MHSA 8.10.1 compliance guide.

Yes — that's the design target. The system detects a person or vehicle, warns both operator and pedestrian, and if no action is taken it intervenes on the machine to slow and brake it. A warning-only system does not meet the underground TMM requirement.

Underground dust, water, curves, dips and reflective metal confuse detection that works on a clean haul road. We select technology with proven performance in conditions comparable to your workings and trial it in a section before fleet-wide rollout.

Yes. Running collision prevention on the same platform and backbone as person location and occupational hygiene gives one safety picture, one control room and one set of compliance records.
