SICK develops radar sensor to prevent ramp collisions

GSE Safety
SICK has developed a radar sensor for collision avoidance duties in ground handling vehicles operating in even the most extreme weather or harsh industrial conditions

The SICK RMS1000 Radar Sensor has been purpose-designed to achieve new levels of availability and 24/7 detection performance in challenging outdoor environments.

It achieves long-range resolution and distance accuracy where radar technology is selected because of the harsh operating conditions, such as where heavy rain, thick fog, heavy snow or extremely dusty environments are prevalent.

And it can be powered by solar panels, or batteries, and used day and night 365 days a year.

“Collision avoidance is an important protection for airport ground handling equipment to avoid costly accidents or delays caused by collisions.Reliable radar sensor technology fitted, for example, to tugs, tractors or aircraft service stairs, is a vital protection to avoid disruption to ground handling operations. The new SICK RMS offers excellent performance combined with great adaptability to suit the operating requirements.”
