BOMAG Innovation Days 2024

October 14, 2024

BOMAG's Emergency Brake Assist scans the #construction machine's operational environment in real time and recognises both moving and static obstacles and objects.

Objects that could potentially be put at risk by the machine's movement are automatically detected by the system. If a collision is imminent, it initiates automatic deceleration down to a complete stop.
