Birds-Eye View (BEV) is a fully integrated camera system with a surround-view feature. It helps operators detect objects and avoid collisions on the jobsite. BEV is built into the HMI display, which rotates with the operator’s seat – offering unmatched usability and visibility compared to competitors.
The operator can choose from three views (front/rear/top). The solution also offers an optional trajectory overlay, which displays the drum edges as virtual lines into the camera view. The display is similar to that of a passenger vehicle that is moving in reverse.
An additional operating feature is Safe Brake Assist (SBA), an active safety assistant system designed to prevent collisions on the jobsite.
SBA continuously measures the distance between the machine and potential obstacles. It also integrates machine movement data to identify hazards that could be in the machine’s path. Brakes are automatically applied if a collision is imminent.
SBA is particularly helpful on crowded jobsites and in poor weather, such as fog or rain, when visibility can be diminished.
The AOC, first announced in 2022, is a collaboration of multinational companies, including Ammann, from varied industries. The group is developing a common software platform that will ultimately result in machine autonomy. As autonomy is pursued, technologies such as BEV and SBA are emerging to provide immediate benefits.
