Hexagon Platooning
Maximise the safety of ore haulage, boost cost-efficiency whilst reducing your carbon emissions.
Maximise the safety of ore haulage and reduce your carbon emissions
Deploy semi-autonomous long-distance fleets using an advanced perception and drive-by-wire system. Collision avoidance and positioning systems maintain safety and operational efficiency for autonomous convoys led by a human driver.
An interactive mining experience
Main benefits
Proven perception system for superior safety
Integration with a full pit-to-port solution
Maximum control for increased fleet availability
Achieve a key autonomy milestone
Long-haul drivers are in short supply and relocating personnel to remote mining routes is costly. Driver fatigue can be a significant liability and safety concern.
Hexagon Platooning is the crucial next step in the journey towards fully autonomous long-distance haulage.
The solution brings together drive-by-wire technology with an autonomous vehicle management system to offer maximum control, increasing fleet availability for ore haulage.
More vehicle autonomy also means greater sustainability. Full control over driving behavior means better fuel efficiency, which is good for the planet and the bottom line.
Reliable position information
Redundant GNSS receivers combined with TerraStar correction services provide positioning accuracy for automated road-trains.
Collision avoidance enables tight convoy formations
Integration with the Collision Avoidance System means that autonomous convoys can travel safely with small spacings in between each vehicle.
Cost-effective transformation
Existing fleets can be converted for drive-by-wire to accommodate the autonomy system without having to purchase specialized vehicles.
