6.2. Workshop/Field Maintenance, Regular Mining
Operation
After maintenance is performed, personnel is still around the heavy machinery but operators have a
very limited field of view of the environment due to the dimensions of the heavy machinery (see graph
1). The PA improves the awareness of the operators by presenting the position and relative distance
to the personnel surrounding the vehicle avoiding accidents that could lead to a fatality.
