In this case study, we will refer to the client as “Client A” to maintain confidentiality. Client A is a leading company in the paving industry. This case study details the results of VIA Safety Solutions installed on a dump truck.
At a paving worksite, a near miss involving a worker and a dump truck underscored the limitations of existing safety measures. Committed to ensuring the safety of its workforce, Client A recognized the need for a more advanced solution to address the unique risks of working near heavy vehicles. This realization marked a turning point in prioritizing innovative technologies to create a safer environment for all workers.
Challenges for Client A
Regular 360° surround-view cameras, which generated excessive false alerts caused by adjacent road traffic.
Existing systems only alerted the driver, leaving workers on the ground still vulnerable to potential incidents.
Implementation
In response to these operational safety challenges, Client A implemented VIA Safety Solutions.
Customized Detection Zones: Tailored to the paving environment, the solution narrowed detection areas on the traffic-facing side, which reduced false alerts and focused on critical zones.
External Light and Siren: Provided specific warnings for workers outside the truck, separate from the backup alerts for the driver, improving situational awareness for everyone on-site.
A Commitment to Worker Safety in Paving
Since implementing VIA Safety Solutions, the dump truck has recorded a number of roadside incidents, which are then used to improve safety protocols and operator training. The real-time alerts and comprehensive monitoring have empowered drivers to move materials more efficiently, mitigating risks associated with excessive alerts and collisions.
