Doosan Infracore has developed a ‘transparent bucket’ function to help wheel loader drivers to see blind spots in front of the bucket via the monitor in the cab.
The system records images in front of the wheel loader with cameras installed at the top and bottom and shows the combined images in real time using a curved projection method.
The front of the wheel loader has been considered a major safety issue due to blind spots. With the transparent bucket function the driver can easily check the blind spot in front of the bucket with a monitor to prevent safety accidents. Another advantage is that it can significantly improve work efficiency by enabling a forward perspective through the monitor during loading/unloading work or carrying of soil and sand.
Doosan Infracore is the first company to develop and apply a front projection feature like the transparent bucket for a construction machine, and therefore, has applied for patents in Korea, North America, Europe, and China. Doosan has also installed advanced safety systems in construction equipment, such as the around view monitors (AVM) and rear warning systems using ultrasonic sensors.
