THE PTICT (PROTECTION OF LONE WORKERS - DRIVERS OF WINCH SNOW GROOMERS)

Introducing the first, completely self-contained protection system for the drivers of winch grooming machines. 
No driver input required ! 

If an incident occurs, an alert is sent to the resort radio-communication network through a voice message with GPS location. 

Type of voice message :

SOS K130 snow groomer in distress at Les Marmottes anchor point

OPERATION

1

From the information on the machine, the P.T.I.C.T infers that the driver has climbed out of the snow groomer to attach or detach the winch cable.

2

The P.T.I.C.T then shifts to monitoring mode and the driver has a pre-set time depending on the anchor point or by default 3 minutes to carry out his action.

3

A voice message announces that the driver has left the groomer, the aim of this message is to inform the driver that his departure from the vehicle has been taken into account.

Type of voice message :

Driver out, anchor point Les Marmottes
4

If the driver has not returned to his groomer at the end of the time allotted then the P.T.I.C.T shifts to pre-alert mode, the P.T.I.C.T emergency rotating light is activated to signal to the driver that the allotted time has run out. This time delay can be pre-set. By default it is set at 3 minutes.

5

Following this pre-alert and if no action is detected by the P.T.I.C.T, an alert is then sent to the resort radio network to warn the other drivers, in particular, who will be able to quickly respond to the announced location.

Type of voice message :

SOS K130 snow groomer in distress at Les Marmottes anchor point

An alert is also sent by SMS to warn other people who might benefit from this information.
