Potholes and washboarding
Repeated impacts bruise rubber and damage internal cords. Target repairs before damage forces a tire out of service.

PROX-EYE supports vehicle and hazard awareness. FIELD-EYE measures road condition to help crews target repairs that protect tires and reduce fuel waste.
CAPABILITIES

07 / BERM HEIGHT MONITORING
Berm Height Monitoring
Measure berm height and find low or broken sections so crews can restore road-edge protection.
BERM HEIGHT MONITORING
Measure Berm Height
Compare berm height with the adjacent roadway and the site’s design requirements.
Flag Low or Broken Berms
Pinpoint sections for reinforcement, rebuilding or closer inspection.
Inspect Road-Edge Contact
Rough berm or shoulder contact can scrape sidewalls. Use road-edge observations to guide inspection and maintenance.
Limit Haulage Disruption
Prioritize exposed drop-offs, where a road departure can damage equipment and interrupt operations.
04 / SUPERELEVATION MONITORING
Superelevation Monitoring
Measure curve banking so crews can correct sections that increase tire scrub, affect stability and cause avoidable speed changes.
Assess Road Banking
Evaluate the road’s sideways slope, particularly through curves.
Reduce Tire Scrub
Use banking profiles to find uneven cross-slopes that push tires sideways through a curve.
Target Grading Work
Locate sections for inspection and restore the road’s design cross-slope.
Support Steadier Travel
Corrected banking can reduce braking and acceleration through bends, limiting avoidable fuel demand.
SUPERELEVATION MONITORING
01 / BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Blind Spot Detection
Detect smaller vehicles in heavy equipment blind spots and flag collision risks during maneuvers.
PROX-EYE / BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Detect Vehicles in Blind Spots
Identify smaller vehicles outside the operator’s clear view.
Identify Collision Risks
Flag vehicles in the equipment’s path when turning or reversing.
Alert the Operator
Give operators time to stop, adjust course, or check clearance.
06 / POTHOLE & STANDING WATER DETECTION
Pothole & Standing Water Detection
Locate visible potholes and standing water so crews can reduce tire impacts, suspension stress and repeated slowing and acceleration.
Reduce Impact Damage
Find depressions that can cut tread, bruise rubber and damage the tire casing.
Find Water-Covered Risks
Locate standing water for follow-up inspection; water can hide sharp debris and surface defects.
Prioritize Surface Repairs
Target pothole and drainage repairs to support steadier travel with less avoidable fuel use.
POTHOLE & STANDING WATER DETECTION
03 / HAZARD DETECTION
Foreign Object Detection
Detect falling debris and alert the operator. The system can stop the vehicle so the operator can assess the obstruction.
HAZARD DETECTION DEMO
Detect Falling Debris
Identify rocks and debris falling into the vehicle’s path.
Alert the Operator
Notify the operator when debris is detected in the vehicle’s path.
Stop the Vehicle
The system can stop the vehicle before it reaches the detected obstruction.
Assess the Obstruction
The operator checks the debris and decides whether it is safe to drive around.
02 / VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS
Vehicle Encounters
Identify approaching vehicles in deep fog and alert the operator, helping them slow down and assess passing clearance.
VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS / LOW VISIBILITY
Spot Approaching Traffic
Identify the approaching vehicle as it emerges through deep fog.
Alert the Operator
Alert the operator to the detected vehicle when visibility is limited.
Slow Before the Pass
Allow time to reduce speed before the vehicles pass.
Check Passing Clearance
Show the detected vehicle’s position to help the operator assess clearance.
05 / ROAD CROWN & DRAINAGE MONITORING
Road Crown & Drainage Monitoring
Find flattened crowns and low spots that hold water, hide cutting hazards and allow the road surface to soften.
ROAD CROWN & DRAINAGE MONITORING
Measure Crown and Cross-Slope
Check the centre profile and slopes toward each road edge.
Find Hidden Tire Risks
Standing water can conceal sharp debris and potholes. Flag low areas for drainage inspection.
Reduce Road Breakdown
Grading and drainage repairs help keep the surface firm, limiting rutting and rolling resistance.
TIRE LIFE / FUEL USE
Protect tires. Reduce fuel use.
Road defects add impact, scrub and rolling resistance. Road measurements and camera observations help crews find the sections to repair.
Poor banking and steep grades
Poor banking adds lateral scrub; steep grades increase traction demand. Correcting road geometry can reduce uneven wear.
Berm and shoulder contact
Rough road edges can scrape or gouge sidewalls. Inspect damaged shoulders and maintain berm height for edge protection.
Poor crown and standing water
Low spots retain water, hiding sharp debris and damaged surfaces. Restore drainage to reduce exposure to cuts and impacts.
FUEL USE / RESEARCH EVIDENCE
Road improvements can reduce fuel use.
Research from operating mines shows how road condition affects fuel consumption.
IRON-ORE MINE, BRAZIL / MODELLED [1]
Less diesel per cycle
Lower rolling resistance; same road geometry.
Less diesel per cycle
Lower rolling resistance and corrected grades.
Both compare with the same baseline; rolling-resistance improvements were assumed.
FIELD RESULTS / OPERATING MINES
LUMWANA, ZAMBIA [2]
10% / 14%
Less diesel when loaded / on empty returns
Recorded before and after cement stabilisation of a 300 m ramp.
EKIBASTUZ, KAZAKHSTAN [3]
10.6 L
Less diesel per cycle
Adjusted repair effect from truck records and matched controls, across whole haul cycles crossing repaired sections.
SHENGLI, CHINA [4]
17.4%
Less fuel per cycle
Operator-reported reduction after 10 km of road stabilisation; limited measurement detail.
