Sentinel Project - Rollover warning system
2010
Mair, M., Autonome Provinz Bozen-Suedtirol, Amt fuer Arbeitssicherheit, Bolzano (Italy)
The Sentinel project provides for the development of a warning system to prevent farm tractors from overturning. This involves the use of sensors and a display panel to warn the driver when the stability limit of the machine has been reached. The Offi ce of Occupational Safety and the Südtiroler Bauernbund (South Tyrol Farmers’ Union) are sponsoring Dr. Ing. Gino Mainardi’s project in collaboration with the Südtiroler Bauernjugend (South Tyrol Young Farmers). The Sentinel warning system has been installed in two farm tractors and a farm truck and is therefore being tested in daily use. A crucial role in this fi eld test is played by the land distribution in the South Tyrol and the corresponding altitude of the areas used for agriculture. The data provided during this fi eld test is serving to fi ne tune the warning system. The objective of the Sentinel project is to develop a warning system for tractor drivers and to fi t the warning system systematically to new tractors in order to reduce agricultural accidents.
