ZoneSafe Pedestrian Detection System​

Reduce the risk of accidents between pedestrian workers and moving vehicles using our forklift pedestrian warning system.

Enhancing Pedestrian Safety Around All Vehicles

In dynamic worksites where pedestrians and vehicles interact, the risk of pedestrian-vehicle collisions is a significant threat. Factors like vehicle blind spots, obstructed views, and distracted individuals often lead to undetected danger, heightening this risk.

Our ZoneSafe vehicle-to-pedestrian detection system actively prevents these accidents and associated injuries. It does this by establishing a 360-degree adjustable detection zone around the vehicle, reliably identifying pedestrians wearing ZoneSafe tags up to ten metres away, even through walls, racking, or behind blind corners. This eliminates critical vehicle blind spots and significantly enhances situational understanding for both operators and pedestrians.

When a pedestrian enters a predefined risk zone, the system delivers alerts through integrated visual and auditory signals that effectively warn both the operator inside the vehicle and the pedestrian. Additionally, pedestrians wearing ZoneSafe tags receive a vibration alert upon detection.

This proactive, two-way warning system provides all individuals with the crucial time needed to react and prevent incidents, thereby ensuring a safer, more secure, and efficient worksite where everyone can operate with confidence.

Configurable Proximity Detection

ZoneSafe’s pedestrian detection system features 360-degree adjustable sensors that detect pedestrians wearing ZoneSafe tags up to ten metres away, crucially detecting them even through walls, racking, and around blind corners. This capability provides critical alerts for both operators and pedestrians, ensuring no one goes unseen.

This system delivers two-way warnings, providing visual and audible alerts to the operator, and an external signal with a vibration alert to the pedestrian. It’s also modular and compatible with other ZoneSafe systems, allowing for comprehensive on-site safety solutions that grow with your needs.

  • 360-degree pedestrian detection with a preset detection range of up to 10 metres.
  • Our pedestrian detection system can be fitted to any type of vehicle.
  • The system reliably detects pedestrians wearing ZoneSafe tags even behind obstructions.
  • Two-way warning system, delivering visual and audible alerts to the operator and pedestrian.

Improved Situational Awareness for Drivers

Even with careful forklift operation, the potential for accidents remains since drivers may only spot some pedestrians. Workers in obscured areas pose significant risks, leading to potentially serious accidents and injuries for pedestrians and forklift operators.

ZoneSafe’s innovative system provides 360-degree pedestrian detection around vehicles, eliminating blind spots and challenging-to-see areas.

Pedestrians wearing ZoneSafe’s tags receive a vibration alert upon detection. The system can detect pedestrians wearing tags through walls, racking, and around blind corners.

Reduction in Workplace Accidents

Moving vehicles are the second leading cause of worker fatalities according to the HSE.

ZoneSafe’s technology not only enhances worksite safety for employees but also protects visitors unfamiliar with the worksite.

Positioned next to the driver, the ZoneSafe Control Unit issues audible and visual alarms upon detecting pedestrians nearby, reducing the risk of potential accidents.

By actively reducing the risk of accidents, it creates a more secure environment, alleviating workers’ safety concerns and allowing them to concentrate on their tasks without distraction.

Data Collection and Analysis

ZoneSafe’s system provides invaluable insights into workplace safety.

The data generated by the system allows for identifying trends and patterns, offering a proactive approach to safety management. With meticulous tracking of vehicle activity and the pinpointing of near misses, the system provides a comprehensive view of the operational landscape.

These detailed analytics enhance situational awareness and enable companies to implement targeted safety procedures.

Adaptability and Integration

ZoneSafe’s pedestrian detection system features an antenna fitted to the vehicle, designed to operate without relying on line of sight. This allows its 360-degree detection zone to effectively cover areas, even through obstructions. The control unit is conveniently positioned beside the driver in the vehicle’s cab. Installation is straightforward with no drilling required, eliminating potential problems, especially for rented machinery.

Engineered for universal fitment across diverse industrial settings, ZoneSafe’s system also benefits from our in-house manufacturing, enabling customisation to suit your specific company requirements. This ensures optimal performance, significantly enhancing safety and operational efficiency in various industries, from recycling sites to warehouses.

Health & Safety Compliance

ZoneSafe forklift proximity detection systems ensure worksites adhere to health and safety regulations. ZoneSafe’s systems minimise workplace hazards, contributing significantly to overall compliance.

Cost Savings

While advanced safety systems entail the initial cost, the long-term benefits include reduced insurance rates, legal costs, and medical expenses through accident prevention.

Improved staff morale, retention, and productivity positively impact overall cost-effectiveness.

Integrating ZoneSafe’s pedestrian detection system for forklifts and other vehicles significantly impacts accident rates. This minimises interruptions to regular operations and absences.

“We’ve been using ZoneSafe for nearly 4 years now and the system has contributed to us having no LTI’s (lost time incidents) or MTI’s (medical treatment incidents) across two very busy sites. I highly recommend this technology”

ZoneSafe Pedestrian Alert System Components

ZoneSafe Antenna

The ZoneSafe antenna (or proximity sensor) is fitted to the vehicle. The antenna creates an invisible 360 degree adjustable detection zone around the vehicle and will detect ZoneSafe tags up to ten metres away.

ZoneSafe Control Unit

Positioned next to the driver in the cab of the vehicle, the ZoneSafe Control Unit warns the driver of every pedestrian detection, alerting the driver to the pedestrian workers' close proximity via an audible and visual alarm.

ZoneSafe Tags

ZoneSafe tags are worn by all pedestrian workers helping to make your workforce completely detectable. Upon detection, ZoneSafe Vibratags also vibrate, warning the wearer to any approaching vehicles.

Detection Zone

The detection zone is an invisible bubble around the vehicle created by the ZoneSafe antenna. Each tag is automatically detected within the zone and can be adjusted to detect tags up to 10 metres away.
