WORKSITE PROXIMITY WARNING

摘要

Systems and methods for warning of proximity in a worksite are disclosed. A second transceiver is detected at a first transceiver, wherein the first transceiver is a mobile wearable device, and wherein the first transceiver and the second transceiver are located at a worksite. An ad-hoc network is established, at the first transceiver, between the first transceiver and the second transceiver. A distance is calculated, at the first transceiver, in three dimensions between the first transceiver and the second transceiver based on the detecting the second transceiver. A first safety envelope is defined, at the first transceiver, about the first transceiver and a second safety envelope about the second transceiver. An alarm is issued, at the first transceiver, when the first safety envelope comes in contact with the second safety envelope.

1. A method for warning of proximity in a worksite, said method comprising:
detecting a second transceiver at a first transceiver, wherein said first transceiver is a mobile wearable device, and wherein said first transceiver and said second transceiver are located at a worksite; establishing, at said first transceiver, an ad-hoc network between said first transceiver and said second transceiver; calculating, at said first transceiver, a distance in three dimensions between said first transceiver and said second transceiver based on said detecting said second transceiver; defining, at said first transceiver, a first safety envelope about said first transceiver and a second safety envelope about said second transceiver; and issuing an alarm, at said first transceiver, when said first safety envelope comes in contact with said second safety envelope.
