Collision Avoidance solutions
Schauenburg Systems offers a range of mining collision avoidance systems that protect vehicles, machinery and personnel. Our range of electronic proximity detection systems ensures level 9 compliance.
Collision avoidance systems and regulatory compliance
The South African Department of Minerals Resources & Energy’s Level 9 intervention, which was signed into law in 2022, requires mines to implement electronic proximity detection systems (PDS systems) on all trackless mobile machinery. This intervention is designed to enhance safety measures in mining operations, protecting machinery, vehicles, operators and personnel with proximity detection systems.
We are an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and distributor of PDS systems and mining Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS), otherwise known as collision prevention systems. These systems comply with the guidelines and legislation for Level 9 intervention
Our products are scalable, meaning our clients have the freedom to address their specific requirements towards achieving Level 9 compliance and ensure underground collision avoidance. With more than 4 000 systems deployed, we are at the forefront of CAS and PDS technology.

Our solutions
We manufacture innovative mining CAS and PDS for hard rock mining operations like gold and platinum, as well as for surface mining. These advanced driver-assistance systems help prevent on-site mining vehicle collisions and our technology is also used to protect pedestrians using our wearable electronic tags.
To ensure that our clients remain up to date with the latest technologies and remain compliant with Level 9 regulatory requirements, we offer maintenance contracts where our teams are on-site to conduct live monitoring. We have more than 700 personnel deployed across South Africa, which enables us to offer fast on-site support.
Benefits of our CAS and PDS
- Legislation compliant
- Risk evaluation & traffic management plans
- Identification of risk levels
- Predictive maintenance
- On-site repairs
- Personnel training

More about our collision avoidance solutions
Underground collision avoidance system
This proven technology is designed for vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-person & vehicle-to-hazard detection. It includes a camera with artificial intelligence capabilities, remote object detection based on the orientation of the potential hazard, & data logging & reporting.
Surface plant quarry open-cast mining collision avoidance solutions
This is a vehicle and personnel tracking & collision awareness system that is compatible with SCAS II underground equipment that uses advanced detection technologies & algorithms. This surface proximity detection system uses multiple technologies to create a failsafe system that increases accuracy compared to single technology systems.
Real-time location services
This is a real-time location system that updates information every 30 seconds on the surface interface, which helps supervisors know where every asset is located (including pedestrians) at any given time.

Frequently asked questions
How does a collision avoidance system work?
Collision avoidance systems use a variety of technologies and sensors like radar, lasers, cameras, GPS and artificial intelligence. They are a safety system designed to warn, alert, or assist machine operations and vehicle drivers in order to avoid imminent collisions and reduce the risk of incidents.
What is the difference between collision avoidance and collision warning systems?
A collision warning system uses GPS radar and/or lasers to detect an impending collision. It audibly warns the driver when a crash is imminent. A collision avoidance system will activate the brakes or increase speed and navigate a vehicle away from the danger.
What is the purpose of a collision avoidance system?
A collision avoidance system is a safety system designed to alert, warn, or assist vehicle drivers and machine operators to avoid imminent collisions and reduce the risk of incidents.
What are collision avoidance sensors?
A collision avoidance system. also known as a pre-crash system, forward collision warning system or collision mitigation system, uses sensors to avoid potential accidents. These sensors provide advanced driver assistance designed to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision.
What is collision avoidance radar?
Collision avoidance radar monitors the range and rate of other vehicles and obstacles, and warns vehicle drivers and machine operators when it perceives that a dangerous situation may be developing.
What do collision avoidance algorithms do?
A collision avoidance system uses advanced algorithms and sensors to detect potential collisions and warn the driver or take action to prevent a collision.
