HAMM Brake Assist: Automatic Obstacle Detection for Safer Road Construction
HAMM Brake Assist uses LiDAR-based sensor technology to detect obstacles around the machine. If it detects an obstacle, the system can automatically reduce the rollerâs speed and bring it to a stop. The sensors continuously monitor the area around the machine and support the operator when visibility is limited. This video shows how Brake Assist reacts when an obstacle enters the rollerâs path, from detection to automatic braking.
