1.4 Classification as Moving or Stationary
The classification of moving and stationary objects alongside the vehicle is dependent on
relative movement between the vehicle and object. Classification as stationary or moving
will affect the alarm state as described in Section 1.1.
To ensure visual and/or audio alarms to the driver are useful, the system will not classify as
moving objects pedestrians or other vulnerable road users when they are being overtaken
at a significantly greater speed. If the speed differential changes (by the vehicle slowing, or
the vulnerable road user speeding up) the object will be reclassified as moving. Alarms for
predicted collisions will still be given in either case.
1.5 Reduced Functionality Mode
If a fault is detected but sufficient elements of the system are still operational,
Sidescan
®
Predict will revert to the behaviour of an indicator-activated, non-predictive
Sidescan system with 1.0 metre range. Audio alarms will be emitted for any object within
1.0 metre of any working sensor. Reduced functionality mode will remain active until the
error/s is/are resolved, offering some functionality to prevent collisions. The error/s must be
resolved to return the system to full functionality.
There are several possible causes for this as discussed in “Testing and Maintenance”
(Section 7) but if this is due to a faulty or disconnected sensor/s this will be indicated by
beeps at start-up. The number of beeps indicate the number of faulty or disconnected
sensors.
The power/fault LED will illuminate amber to indicate an error state. The output triggers
3 and 4 will be activated and output trigger 2 will be deactivated at all times. The output
trigger 1 will continue activating as normal based on indicator signals.
When reduced functionality mode is active, the vehicle’s installed side indicator is on and
speed is below 30 kph/18.6 mph a constant audio warning will be emitted and a solid yellow
visual warning displayed for any object detected within 0.6 metres of a working sensor. A
4 bps audio warning will be emitted and 4 fps flashing yellow visual warning displayed for
any object within 0.6 to 1.0 metres of a working sensor. This will happen irrespective of the
number of sensors that are broken.
1.6 System Fault Mode
If a fault is detected with the system, where there is insufficient confidence to activate
reduced functionality mode, the system fault mode is activated. There are several possible
causes for this as discussed in “Testing and Maintenance” (Section 7).
The power/fault LED will illuminate amber to indicate an error state and no alarms will be
given. The output triggers 2, 3 and 4 will be activated at all times. The output trigger 1 will
continue activating as normal based on indicator signals.
