Application software Radar-based Collision Avoidance System CAS

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Collision Avoidance System (CAS), designed to prevent or mitigate collisions involving mobile machinery, particularly under impaired visibility. The system uses radar and inertial sensors to monitor areas around machinery and can function as both a passive warning system and an active collision avoidance system.
Typical Applications and Benefits
CAS is suitable for vehicles such as wheeled loaders, telescopic handlers, and municipal vehicles. It can monitor one or both sides of a vehicle and actively stop the vehicle if a collision threat is detected. The system minimizes false positives to prevent operator fatigue and operates independently of lighting and weather conditions.
System Description
The CAS comprises components like Radar OHW, Inertial sensor MM7.10, and Rexroth controller RC5-6/40, with CAN-based communication supporting ISO 21815-2 protocols. Features include override requests and blindness detection.
Functional Description
The system evaluates nearfield areas for potential hazards and predicts the vehicle's path to assess object criticality. It can issue warnings or trigger automatic deceleration if necessary, with capabilities for blindness detection and override in confined areas.
Functional Safety Considerations
Safety considerations include application prerequisites, parameterization, and validation, developed according to standards like EN ISO 13849 and ISO 25119.
Project Engineering and Ordering Information
Details on starter kits, project-specific parameters, required tools, and the ordering process are provided, with a starter kit available for prototypical evaluation.
Valid Standards and Related Documentation
The system adheres to standards such as ISO 21815-3 and EN ISO 13849, ensuring compliance with safety and operational guidelines.
Security and Safety Instructions
Security information and safety instructions are provided to ensure proper system use and operator safety.
Electronic Interfaces and Functionality
The CAS system requires inputs like vehicle velocity, driving direction, and drive pedal status via CAN from the drivetrain ECU. Detailed hardware characteristics are available in data sheet 95207.
Electrical Interfaces
The system supports up to four CAN channels with varying baud rates for communication with different components. Power supply requirements include 12V and 24V batteries for the control unit and 12V for sensors.
Parameter Setting and Diagnostics
Parameters can be adjusted using BODAS-service software, which also aids in diagnostics and troubleshooting. A list of parameters and commissioning information is available on demand.
Abbreviations
A list of abbreviations used in the document, such as ADC, CAN, and ECU, is provided for understanding the technical content.
General Information
The document outlines legal information and software license agreements applicable to Bosch Rexroth products, mentioning the use of open-source software.
Security Information
This section discusses security protocols to prevent unauthorized changes, emphasizing authentication and confidentiality of software artifacts.
Safety Instructions
Safety instructions emphasize the responsibility of machine manufacturers to ensure safety standards are met, proper installation, risk assessment, and validation of configurations.
Intended Use and Improper Use
The control unit is designed for use in mobile working machines within specified operating ranges. Any use outside these conditions is considered improper.
Additional Information
Users are advised to observe operating instructions and safety measures, and to refer to application-specific documents for more detailed information.

Application software | CAS Typical applications and benefits 2 Typical applications and benefits The system for radar-based collision avoidance (CAS) aims at all driving applications. Typical examples include wheeled loaders, telescopic handlers, dumpers, tractors, municipal vehicles, mobile excavators etc. The system is prepared to monitor either one side only (e.g., the rear side of a wheeled loader) or to use a second radar for monitoring the opposite side (e.g., the front and rear side of a municipal vehicle). The system explicitly considers the driving direction, i.e., only the relevant...

CAS | Application software Functional description 4 Functional description 4.1 Feature overview Nearfield evaluation The nearfield behind or in front of the machine is monitored independently of the current steering angle and the vehicle speed. Objects detected within this nearfield are considered as a potential hazard and will lead to a warning or active stopping to prevent any collision with the detected object. Note that a warning or active stopping will only occur if the driving direction is chosen such that the ego vehicle would move towards to critical object. The dimension of the nearfield...
