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.
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.
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.
