Brigade ZoneSafe is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) proximity warning vehicle safety system.
ZoneSafe works by using RFID technology to create detection zones around vehicles, reducing the risk of injury or damage from collisions and near miss occurrences to people and property. Designed for use in challenging environments, such as construction sites, manufacturing sites, trash sites, airports, and distribution centers, it uses vehicle-mounted antennas that communicate with detection tags, which can be worn by workers, set up in restricted areas or placed on objects or property. When a tag enters a detection zone, the vehicle operator will automatically receive a visual and audible alert via the in-cab control unit, which will enable them to take the necessary action. Tags worn by workers on foot will also vibrate to warn of an approaching vehicle. Due to the RFID technology, which does not require line-of-sight, tags will be detected regardless of obstructions, blind spots, adverse weather conditions, or poor visibility. Each tag can be uniquely identified and linked to individual people.
