SAFETY ENGINEERING
Radar or ultrasonic? Choosing the right sensing layer
The technologies solve different parts of low-speed collision awareness.
Radar for area awareness
Radar supports wider zones and operation across darkness, dust and changing weather.
Ultrasonic for close range
Ultrasonic sensors suit slow manoeuvres near docks, structures and equipment.
Sensor fusion matters
A combined system should improve coverage, prioritize useful events and reduce unnecessary alarms.
Choose from the hazard map
Select technology from target type, range, environment, mounting and required response.
