Collision avoidance system for construction equipment
Blaxtair® is an intelligent on-board camera which helps to prevent collisions between construction machinery and pedestrians. Combined with good practice and organizational safety measures, it is the only efficient and reliable answer to meet the safety demands of the construction, road work and mining sectors.
Blaxtair® is a warning system aimed at preventing collisions between industrial vehicles and pedestrians. Would a pedestrian enter a danger zone around the vehicle, the driver would be immediately warned by a sounding and a lighting alarm.
Thanks to a stereoscopic sensor head, Blaxtair® detects and locates the obstacles using triangulation. A shape analysis of the obstacles determines whether they are pedestrians or not.
In real time, BLAXTAIR:
Sees all major obstacles
Analyzes shapes
Recognizes if it is a pedestrian
Warns the driver
Why Blaxtair?
Blaxtair® enhances the security of your worksite
by preventing accidents between machines and pedestrians, thanks to its smart 3D camera which is able to recognize people inside the machine’s danger zones and to warn the driver.
Blaxtair® reduces your machine’s operating costs
thanks to its obstacle recognition and localization camera the driver is warned of up-close obstacles that can damage the machine.
Blaxtair® improves your worksite productivity
by enabling the driver to monitor the machine’s blind spots without having to turn thanks to its screen positioned inside the cabin.
Blaxtair® brings evidence in case of accident
by providing the last three (3) hours of video feed thanks to its recording device (offered as an option).

Detection principle
Blaxtair® continuously scans its designated area. Thanks to a stereoscopic sensor it can replicate the environment within its field of view in three dimensions and render all fixed or mobile objects within it visible. These objects are then analysed by the software and classified. Should a pedestrian enter in a hazardous area within this environment they will immediately be scanned and classified and an alarm would alert the driver. This allows for ample reaction time. The whole process lasts only a fraction of a second. A pedestrian might escape the driver’s notice, but none will escape Blaxtair®’s vigilance!
A screen installed in the cabin provides permanently the scene captured by the sensor head for the driver.
Configurable camera
These settings are done once for all when servicing the Blaxtair, thanks to a very straightforward Man Machine Interface. No further setup is necessary, making the installation and the operational use of the system very simple and reliable.
The gray area:
is the field of view covered by the sensor head and displayed on the 7” screen installed inside the cabin.
The orange:
area is the danger zone (included in the previous one). As soon as a pedestrian enters this area, the driver is warned by an alarm (red light and ringing alarm).
The red area:
is the collision zone. As soon as an object enters this area, the driver is warned by an alarm (red light and ringing alarm).

OPTIONS
Several possible configurations
BLAXTAIR® can adapt to all types of machines. The number of heads required depends on the hazard zone to cover. Three basic configurations are proposed:
MR90 Simple configuration
Suitable for small to medium sized equipment whose primary function is performed during operations in a single direction.
Applications: For vehicles with 3m and less of overall width (loader, forklift, excavator, street sweeper, articulated truck, etc.).
MR90A Bi-head configuration
For vehicle moving back and forth, alternate configuration MR90A is especially well adapted.
Applications: For vehicles with 3m and less of overall width (articulated truck, tandem roller, loader, excavator, telehandler, etc.).
MR180 Dual configuration
For large vehicles or rotating vehicles, a configuration implementing 2 sensor heads working simultaneously is recommended.
For vehicles with 3m and more of overall width. This configuration is especially well adapted for excavators, large wheel Loaders or large trucks.
Several other configurations can be proposed depending on the type of vehicle. Contact your representative for more information.
Configuration with Blaxtairview
In order to have a better view of its working environment, it is possible to combined the Blaxtair camera with one or more backup cameras. The BLAXTAIR® system can be combined with up to 3 cameras.
Special features
It is possible to configure Blaxtair® in order to fit specifically customer’s need, according to the type of machine and the application.
Based on a large catalog of option, a lot of other configurations, combining different options, can be defined to meet your expectations.

FINANCING
The Alltech Group now offers Leasing for all products offered.
Our objective is to help entrepreneurs and self-employed workers to obtain custom financial services.
What is leasing?
Leasing is a very popular financing method among companies purchasing equipment commonly called assets or capital assets. The equipment is financed by equal monthly instalments for terms of 24 to 66 months, with end-of contract options meeting the need you may have to acquire the equipment at the end of the term. In addition, those installments are recognized as a tax expenditure. Leasing thus offers you several advantages.
