Proximity-Warning Sensor

A proximity warning sensor is a safety device used to detect objects, vehicles, or pedestrians close to a working vehicle and alert the operator to potential collision risks. It is particularly relevant where vehicles operate near the public or other workers.

The system monitors defined detection zones around the vehicle and provides audible or visual warnings when movement is detected. This supports operator awareness where blind spots or restricted visibility are present.

Proximity warning sensors are commonly specified on a compact road sweeper working urban routes, and they support wider safety controls referenced within a yard traffic management plan for industrial site operations.
