B.3 Non Transport Applications


transport

The title and scope of this document refers to transport applications of fixed surveillance radar. The proponents of this SRDoc wish to provide further information about existing and possible applications outside the field of transport, noting that:Such applications are permitted and already in use in some countries. EC Decision 2011-829-EU [i.9] designates the 76-77GHz band for radars for RTTT terrestrial vehicles and infrastructure systems only. EU Member States are obliged to allow such use but may also be more liberal and permit other uses



  1. The compatibility scenarios for fixed radars are likely to be the same whether or not the application is for transport.

B.3.1. For Industrial detection and automations


ETSI 102 704 v1.2.1 [i.7] has reported on the use of radar system for mobile vehicle use, away from roads. Some further examples are provided here of equipment in service.

Figure 17 Anti-collision system for Ship to Shore cranes

Prior to installation of a radar anti-collision system at Southampton docks in the UK, two crane boom collapses occurred. In the most recent, the crane driver received life threatening injuries.



The general market for Crane based radar anti-collision systems has been estimated in ETSI 102 704 v1.2.1 [i.7] and shown in Figure 13. More general applications for the same technology are discussed in the same reference.

Figure 19 Anti-collision system for bulk loader

Bulk loading of Ore is a dangerous process. The noise and dust caused by loading the materials serve to make the drivers of these machines less aware of the relative location of ship and loader. In these conditions, collisions between ship and loader are inevitable, and in some of the larger ports can occur 3 or 4 times a year.

For a 9000 Tonnes per hour machine loading Iron Ore, even a few hours of lost loader time due to a collision can cost over US$ 1m per hour. A recent accident in Queensland Australia saw a loading boom damaged in a collision with the ship; this could not be repaired in situ and a replacement was needed. The total machine down-time was approximately 3 months.
