Vehicle-To-Person Alert
Worksite Pedestrian Proximity Detection – Reduce collision risk in shared industrial environments between moving vehicles and pedestrian workers .
What is Vehicle-To-Person Alert?
ZoneSafe Vehicle-To-Pedestrian Alert (V2P Alert) is a pedestrian proximity detection system designed to eliminate collisions on worksites between pedestrians and heavy industrial machinery, such as forklift trucks, shovel loaders, excavators, and reach stackers.
Fitted to any vehicle, the system uses tried-and-trusted RFID technology, enabling pedestrian proximity detection even when the pedestrian can’t be seen.
-
Uses RFID technology to detect pedestrian workers.
-
System fits any type of heavy plant & industrial machinery.
-
Significantly reduces the risk of accidental collisions.
-
Trusted worldwide and used in many different sectors.
How Does A Pedestrian Proximity Detection System Work?
Vehicle-To-Person Alert creates a 360° detection zone around the vehicle. When a pedestrian wearing a ZoneSafe tag enters this zone, the system alerts both the operator and the pedestrian worker.
Vehicle operators are warned via an audible & visual alert from the in-cab control unit, whilst pedestrian workers are warned about the approaching vehicle via a burst of vibration from the tag.
The advantage of using ZoneSafe is that the system uses RFID technology. Therefore, it doesn’t require line of sight to detect tags worn by pedestrian workers. This ensures the system still detects a person even if they are working behind racking, walls, or stacks of product.
-
Detect pedestrian workers up to 10m away from the vehicle.
-
Full 360 degree pedestrian detection around the vehicle.
-
Pedestrian worker detection even if they can't be seen!
-
Two-way feedback - provides awareness to driver and pedestrian.

How Does Pedestrian Proximity Detection Improve Workplace Safety?
Pedestrian proximity detection improves worksite safety by alerting vehicle operators and pedestrians when they get too close to each other. Using RFID technology, the system guarantees pedestrian worker detection, even if they can’t be seen – something other safety technologies are not able to replicate.
Providing two-way feedback, operators are warned of pedestrians via the in-cab control unit, while pedestrian workers are alerted to approaching vehicles via short bursts of vibration from the ZoneSafe tag.
The system significantly improves situational awareness around moving vehicles in the workplace and gives both drivers and pedestrians time to react before a dangerous interaction occurs, even if they cannot see each other.
Vehicle-to-Person Alert – Pedestrian Proximity Detection Components
Pedestrian sensor
A vehicle-mounted antenna that creates a 360-degree detection zone, ensuring the machine can "see" in every direction.
Control unit
The central driver alert system that provides instant audible and visual warnings the moment a pedestrian enters the risk area - compatible with forklifts and all industrial plant.
VibraTag
A wearable tag that makes your workforce detectable. It uses haptic vibration to alert the wearer of approaching vehicles, even in high-noise environments.
Tag Management
Our tag management range ensures your system remains fully operational and accounted for, starting at the weighbridge and extending across your entire facility.
HSE Statistics for 2025/26 indicate 24 deaths from being struck by a moving vehicle. That’s a significant 71% increase from the previous year.
MyZoneSafe Data Management For Worksite Safety & Continuous Improvement
The ZoneSafe system turns raw detection data into powerful, actionable insights that drive continuous improvement in worksite safety. By tracking vehicle activity, pedestrian proximity detection and near misses, the data helps you spot trends and patterns, enabling a proactive approach to safety management.
This information helps organisations understand where near misses occur and identify opportunities to improve site safety.
Why Choose ZoneSafe For Pedestrian Proximity Detection?
Using ZoneSafe for vehicle-to-pedestrian proximity detection helps organisations reduce collision risk in environments where vehicles and workers operate in close proximity.
By improving awareness around moving vehicles, the system supports safer interactions between operators and pedestrians while allowing operations to continue efficiently.
Organisations choose ZoneSafe to:
-
Protect your workforce by helping prevent incidents that could cause serious injury or harm.
-
Protect your organisation’s reputation by demonstrating a proactive commitment to workplace safety.
-
Demonstrate reasonably practicable safety measures to support compliance with workplace safety obligations.
-
Support business continuity by reducing the risk of vehicle-pedestrian incidents that disrupt operations.
