This system evaluates surrounding Bluetooth emitters and triggers feedback mechanisms such as LED strips and vibrating seatbelts. The study acknowledges the accuracy limitations of Bluetooth for precise location but emphasises its effectiveness in proximity detection. A real excavator and workers carrying Bluetooth emitters were used to implement and test this proof of concept.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"659\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/bluetoothcollisionavoidancesystemexample.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9202\" style=\"width:583px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/bluetoothcollisionavoidancesystemexample.jpg 659w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/bluetoothcollisionavoidancesystemexample-300x217.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results showed that the system could successfully detect the presence of workers relative to heavy machinery. Drivers received simple yet effective feedback through visual and haptic alerts, based on the proximity of workers. Notably, the system was found to be affordable and less intrusive than camera-based solutions, with Bluetooth proving sufficient for this application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors concluded that their proposed system significantly enhances safety in industrial settings with heavy machinery.
