FATIGUE WARNING SYSTEM (RANDOM)

The Muirhead® Fatigue Warning system has been developed with operator safety in mind. This system, once activated, randomly checks the operator's awareness using a visual warning. If this warning is not acknowledged by means of a reset switch, an audible alarm will sound until the operator resets the system.

 

The Muirhead® Fatigue Warning system is most effective in managing driver fatigue for fast moving earthmoving vehicles such as ON/OFF highway trucks and other fast moving heavy equipment.

 

As an added feature, the fatigue warning system is versatile enough to be used on all other types of operating vehicles.

 

The Muirhead® Driver Alert Fatigue Warning system is designed to maintain operator’s alertness to help eliminate fatigue induced accidents. The system checks the operator’s awareness by randomly activating fatigue warning alerts. The system incorporates a real time clock which can be programmed to operate during a specific time period when operator fatigue is most prevalent (i.e. early hours of the morning or late in an operator’s shift).

 

The system also features an optional speed set point function whereby the system can be programmed to operate only after a pre-set speed is reached. The system can also be programmed to actively detect if the driver is reversing the machine, or if the machine’s park brake is applied. This function pauses the system to prevent any alarm activation whilst the driver is performing tasks which require their full concentration and/or when the machine is in idle.
