Driving Safety Requirements
This section outlines the safety requirements used when driving a vehicle using the SmarTrax system.
Areas of operation
The SmarTrax must only be used on private property without public access. It must only be used
within cleared fields. It must NOT be used when traveling on any public roads or access ways. Raven
Industries advise that users familiarize themselves with the SmarTrax operations by first reading the
Machine Operator Guide.
Avoidance of people
The SmarTrax must not be operated in the vicinity of people. People must be well outside of the
machine’s path while it is operating with Steering Assist engaged.
Avoidance of machinery and equipment
The SmarTrax operator must allow a safe distance between the machine’s path and other machinery
or equipment. To determine the safe distance, take into account the incorrect operation of the guidance
system and the distance required for the machine to stop.
Avoidance of obstacles
The SmarTrax CANNOT detect obstacles such as fences, trees or boulders that are located within a
defined Field. The SmarTrax assists the machine operator to steer the machine in straight lines in
cleared fields. The machine operator must identify and avoid the obstacles while working a field.
Responsibilities of operator
The machine operator must remain in complete control of the machine at all times. Only when steering
assist is enabled can there be hands-free operation.
The machine operator remains fully responsible for the operation of the machine and must remain in
the operator’s position within the machine at all times while the Steering Assist is engaged.
