A working pit mixes loaded haul trucks with graders, dozers, light vehicles, blast crews, surveyors, and contractors, through shift changes, dust, and night operations. The operators of the largest machines see the least: mirrors and cameras cover part of the surroundings, and a pickup or a person inside a blind area is invisible from the cab.

The controls holding that together are radio calls, spotters, and standoff rules, and they depend on every person following them every time. Nothing verifies compliance while it matters, contractor accountability lives on paper, and when a close call happens there is no shared record of who was where.

RTS closes that gap by tracking every vehicle and every person on the pit floor, predicting conflicts before they become contacts, and alerting the operator, the pedestrian, and the control room at the same time.
