536 Sick's IP67-rated / PLd- and SIL 2-certificated OS2000 laser scanner system detects movement of people, vehicles and objects for safety, security and collision avoidance, including emergency stops and machine control. The company says it is ideal for all external environments from freight yards and trackside buildings to tunnels, airports, container yards, vehicle parks, bridges and depots.

The OS2000 is believed to be the first scanner of its type to be CE certificated to performance Level d (EN ISO 13849-1) and SIL2 (EN162061), which allow it to be used where safety demands are critical. The scanning angle of 100º or 180º and range of up to 20m (66 feet) enables very effective coverage of wide areas with an economical use of scanners.

    Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz Future Bus made its first autonomous trip on a public road recently, when it was driven at speeds of up to 70 km/h on a section of a bus rapid transit route in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The 20 kilometre route, which links Schiphol Airport with the town of Haarlem, provided a challenge for the bus, with its numerous bends, tunnels and traffic signals. Although a driver was on board for safety reasons, for the most part the bus met the challenge autonomously, stopping at bus sto

  • Increased automation is already improving road safety

    Richard Cuerden considers how many of the technologies developed as part of a move toward autonomous vehicles are already being deployed as ADAS improve road safety. The drive to create autonomous vehicles has caused a re-evaluation of what is needed to safely navigate today’s roads and the development of systems that can replace the driver in many scenarios. However, many manufacturers are not waiting for ‘tomorrow’ and are already incorporating these systems in their new cars as Advanced Driver Assistanc
