| Objectives | Three companies, Open Grid Systems, Sheffield Hallam University and Frazer-Nash Consultancy, are collaborating to develop and validate the a system that can alert users or vehicles when proximity to OHL falls below a pre-defined threshold. The system will comprise of a common cloud, portable on-board device and/ or magnetometers and features in smartphones. Relevant trends and observations from historical OHL strike data will also be used to refine alerts. " Development of prototype on-board capable of producing audible and visual alarms. Development and validation of mobile sensing app incorporating data from magnetometers and smart phone sensors. Analysis of historical incidents, identifying any common root causes of OHL contact incidents and development of a stakeholder and communications strategy." " Design, implementation, and validation of mobile sensing application that uses data from magnetometers and other inbuilt smart phone sensors Development of on-board embedded system; including field measurements and validation Design and implementation of interoperable APIs to facilitate integration with backend system Analysis of historical incidents, identifying any common root causes of OHL contact incidents. Stakeholder and communications strategy to help reduce number of contacts." | |
| Abstract | This project aims to develop a solution that enables the GPS location of overhead lines to be loaded in the navigation systems of agricultural vehicles to alert drivers to the presence of overhead lines and prevent OHL strikes. | |
