Titan Collision Avoidance System (CAS)
A robust and modular Collision Avoidance System (CAS) for surface and underground mining that detects and alerts vehicle operators and pedestrians of each other's presence, upgradable up to EMESRT Level 9, increasing awareness and saving lives.

The Epiroc Titan Collision Avoidance system is capable of full level 7, 8 and 9 collision avoidance solution with EMESRT-PR-5A as a guideline. EMESRT Level 9 can be achieved without any change in the hardware requirement apart from a connection to the vehicle ISO21815 interface. This has the following advantages amongst others:
Furthermore, Titan CAS is the critical CxD component in the Collision Prevention System (CPS) solution as per the Minerals Council of South Africa’s definition and requirements.
The 4th generation of the Epiroc Titan CAS system has undergone significant improvements. These enhancements have been made to meet the changing requirements of the industry and to build upon the success of previous generations.
The Epiroc Collision Avoidance System is designed with the understanding that no single technology can provide a complete solution for sensing collision scenarios. The 4th generation Titan CAS system sets itself apart from competitors by combining low-frequency, time-of-flight, and sub-GHz RF for detecting vehicles and pedestrians in underground operations.
In addition to the standard underground implementation, the use of other technologies such as AI vision and GNSS allows the Titan CAS system to be applied to any operation. The system's modularity ensures that the technology implementation can be adapted over time as the needs on-site evolve.
Level 7:
Operator awareness: Alerts the operator. This is a warning or awareness system.
Level 8:
Advisory controls: Advises the operator. This is an advisory system.
Level 9:
Intervention controls: Takes control from the operator and automatically slows down and stops the vehicle.
