CxD Level 9 Collision Prevention Technology®

The CxD Level 9 is the most advanced collision prevention system available, featuring fully automated machine intervention.

Mine Safe CxD Level 9 Collision Prevention Technology® System


The gold standard in mining safety.

Mine Safe Global Level 9 collision avoidance systems for mining use automated intervention, intelligent collision detection, and advanced proximity detection technology to prevent vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian incidents. The Mine Safe CxD Level 9 Collision Prevention System combines real-time proximity detection, predictive hazard analysis, intelligent zoning, and automated intervention controls to eliminate collision risks before incidents occur. Designed for surface, underground, and plant environments, our ISO 21815-compliant solution integrates with modern and legacy mining fleets to improve safety, reduce downtime, and support EMESRT requirements.

When a potential collision is detected and human reaction time alone is insufficient to avoid the resulting incident, the system automatically initiates machine intervention to prevent the collision.

Key Features

Level 9 represents the highest standard of collision prevention, where the system automatically intervenes to slow down or stop a machine if a dangerous situation is detected. Level 9 takes control in real time to avoid accidents.

Complete Level 9 Collision Prevention Solutions

Mine Safe Global designs, manufactures, installs, and supports collision prevention and avoidance systems for mining environments. Our Level 9 solutions protect operators, pedestrians, visitors, and assets by combining real-time alerts with automated intervention where human reaction alone is not sufficient. Every service is tailored to match your specific infrastructure, equipment, and safety requirements.

Complete Operational Support

Whether your site is underground, surface, or mixed-operation, we tailor the system to your exact operational and compliance requirements. Beyond installation, we provide continuous software updates, remote diagnostics, and priority technical response to ensure long-term stability and performance. With proactive monitoring and hands-on support, your CPS Level 9 implementation remains reliable, scalable, and effective .

How Level 9 Collision Avoidance Technology Works

Proximity detection and collision avoidance technologies are structured in alignment with EMESRT guidelines into three progressive defensive control phases, culminating in Level 9 intervention:

Level 7 (Operator Awareness): The system detects pedestrians or other machines and provides visual and audible warnings to alert the operator.

Level 8 (Advisory Controls): The system advises the operator on specific evasive actions or triggers vehicle de-rating (engine restriction).

Level 9 (Intervention Controls): If the operator takes no action, the system automatically overrides the controls, actively decelerating and bringing the machine to a safe, controlled stop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Level 9 collision avoidance system?
Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019 Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

A Level 9 collision avoidance system is the highest level of mining collision prevention technology. Unlike warning-only systems, Level 9 solutions actively intervene by automatically slowing down or stopping equipment when a collision risk is detected. The system combines proximity detection, real-time positioning, predictive analysis, and machine control integration to prevent vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian incidents.

A Level 9 collision prevention system continuously monitors machine locations, pedestrian positions, speed, and travel paths using technologies such as GPS, RTLS, GIS mapping, and sensor fusion. If a dangerous trajectory is detected and the operator does not react, the system automatically intervenes by reducing speed or applying controlled stopping actions.
Level 8 systems provide advisory controls and warnings to operators, helping them take corrective action. Level 9 systems go further by automatically overriding machine controls when necessary. This intervention capability significantly reduces the risk of collisions caused by delayed human response.

Yes. Mine Safe Global Level 9 solutions are designed to align with ISO 21815 requirements for collision avoidance systems and machine control interfaces. Compliance helps mining operations meet safety standards while supporting reliable integration across fleets.

Yes, it is fully ISO 21815-compliant and meets South African MHSA Regulation 8 requirements.

It features Smart Operational Modes, such as “Loading Mode,” which suppresses unnecessary alerts while machines are working in close proximity during loading.

Yes. Collision prevention technologies significantly reduce incidents by identifying hazards before operators can react. By combining intelligent collision detection, proximity monitoring, and automated intervention, Level 9 systems help improve operator safety and reduce accident risks.

Yes. Level 9 systems can integrate with both OEM and legacy mining equipment through standard machine interfaces. This allows operations to upgrade existing fleets without requiring complete equipment replacement.

It uses multi-sensor fusion, combining high-precision GPS and Real-Time Location System (RTLS) technology.

Yes, it utilizes Intelligent Linear Dynamic Zoning, which automatically adjusts the safety zones based on the machine’s speed and traffic conditions.

Through a 7-inch LCD in-cab controller that provides a full GIS background layer and intuitive visual/voice alerts.

Yes, the system supports Biometric Key Control and electronic pre-shift checklists to ensure only authorized, fit-for-work operators can start the machine.
