Safety Upgraded! Millimeter-Wave Radar Escorts Special Vehicles

Business Challenges
Special vehicles frequently encounter safety accidents due to complex working environments, including uneven terrain, muddy land, confined spaces, and harsh weather. According to the Safety Technical Code for Construction Machinery (GB/T 50369-2005), construction machinery accidents account for ~25% of total accidents, with over 70% occurring in blind zones, narrow spaces, or bad weather. Statistics show that ~30% of accidents involving special vehicles happen in blind spots during turns or reversing, with a fatality rate exceeding 90% (ILO Report, 2019). The operational risks of special vehicles demand urgent technological enhancements.

Accident Cases
Shanghai Jinshan Road Roller Accident
Jan 8, 2024: A road roller fatally crushed a worker during asphalt paving operations in Shanghai.

Yulin "3·15" Transport Accident
Mar 15, 2024: A loader at a mining company knocked over a driver during coal cleanup, resulting in fatal injuries.

Jiangxi Heavy Tanker-Car Collision
Jul 26, 2024: A collision in Xingguo County caused 4 deaths and 1 injury.

 

Industry Trends
With advancements in AI and sensing technologies, China’s special vehicles are rapidly adopting intelligence and autonomy. Policies promote high-precision sensors to improve safety. The 2023 China Special Vehicle Industry Report notes that millimeter-wave radar (MMWR) boosts operational efficiency by 35%, reduces blind-zone accidents from 30% to 20%, and cuts fatalities from 90% to 75%. Post-installation of MMWR anti-collision systems, accident risks drop by 40%, making MMWR a standard safety feature.

 

Customer Pain Points
Blind Spots: Large vehicle size limits driver visibility, especially during turns, reversing, or in tight spaces.

Complex Terrain/Weather: Variable scenarios include uneven ground, mud, confined areas, and harsh conditions (rain, fog, low light).

Lack of Specialized Radar: Existing MMWRs are poorly adapted for special vehicles.
