1. ANTI-COLLISION DEVICE FOR TOWER CRANE By: Arnab Paul

2. Introduction : The risk associated with the use of tower cranes on job sites – collisions between cranes, collision with high voltage electricity lines etc…may have serious consequences.

3. Zoning : This function prevents the over-sailing of critical zones and of static obstacles (high voltage lines, railway lines, public places, schools…). C an define up to 15 zones Definition of zones with lines, circles, arcs or point by point Hook height management is possible

4. Anti-collision : The AC 243 system allows cranes to track each other automatically at an optimum speed and distance in complete safety.

5. Conclusion : Advantages : 1. Safe work and crane movement in congested area. 2. Minimize the risk of operation of cranes. 3. Ease of operation. Problems: 1. Very Expensive 2. Complex Electrical Arrangement 3. Approval for HVPR
