Incident Investigation: Vehicle Speed

Created by Elizabeth Delaney - Published April 13, 2018


Vehicle interactions are extremely disruptive for a mine site, putting the entire production process out of kilter and causing detrimental follow on effects. One single incident can result in a complete standstill of operations, causing thousands of dollars in lost production. Identifying the speed vehicles were travelling at before a crash is essential for quick and accurate investigation.

Problem

Without real-time feedback capabilities, it is impossible to establish the exact speed a vehicle was travelling before an incident occurred. This causes problems surrounding warranty claims and the inability to confirm what component, whether that be operator, vehicle or other, caused the incident.

Solution

Being able to identify the speed vehicles were travelling before an incident allows management to establish what vehicle was at fault and pinpoint the exact cause of the accident. In addition, the play back capability also allows for a strong defence against claims of machine abuse for warranty pushback.
