Improve Safety, Compliance & Productivity with Spacesium Road Safety Compliance Toolbox (RSCT)
March 19, 2025
The unified approach to manage road assets on minesites
Revolutionizing Haul Road Monitoring with Spacesium RSCT
Spacesium’s Road Safety Compliance Tool (RSCT) is setting a new standard in haul road safety and compliance monitoring. With over 15 years’ experience in the mining industry, we have developed specific software for the mining industry, RSCT leverages cutting-edge geospatial technology to enhance workplace innovation, safety and productivity. By simply running the software, mining operators can instantly visualize road compliance, with AI-driven insights highlighting areas of risk through automated detection, measurement, and reporting.
The Next Generation of Road Safety Compliance
Developed in collaboration with industry leaders such as Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia (HCMA), RSCT builds upon autonomous truck systems that utilize 3D point clouds from LiDAR and photogrammetry scans. Taking this technology further, RSCT introduces groundbreaking advancements in Drivable Area Segmentation (DAS), making it the first tool of its kind to integrate automated road safety compliance monitoring with geospatial data analysis. This allows mining companies to monitor and assess both road performance and road safety compliance (RSC) in near real-time across Australian and global mine sites.
To expand RSCT’s reach and impact, we capsulated the software toolbox to be compatible with ESRI ArcGIS Pro, Cesium, QGIS and standalone. By aligning with the various geospatial software stacks, the technology strategy will support the commercial deployment of RSCT, driving growth for the mining industry worldwide.
Key Features and Innovations
Traditional road safety assessments rely on manual reports and outdated survey methods. RSCT revolutionizes this process with automation, delivering real-time insights and compliance reporting for various road types on mine sites. Key features include:
- Automated Road Width Measurements – Perpendicular measurements ensure adherence to design parameters.
- Grade and Curvature Analysis – Identifies areas needing adjustment for optimal safety.
- Barrier Compliance Verification – Ensures proper placement and regulation adherence.
- Water Flow & Flood Modelling – Helps mitigate risks associated with extreme weather events.
- Deviation Detection – Highlights discrepancies between actual road conditions and design specifications.
- Pot Hole Detection (beta)
- Change detection against deisgn and as-built (beta)
RSCT is engineered to work seamlessly with terrestrial, aerial, and satellite sensors, ensuring interoperability across multiple data sources. This enables near real-time road asset management and monitoring, a major leap forward from conventional methods.
A Game-Changer for the Mining Industry
Automation & Accuracy
RSCT eliminates the inefficiencies of manual assessments by delivering precise, automated measurements using high-resolution 3D LiDAR and photogrammetry data.
Scalability & Integration
Designed for flexibility, RSCT integrates with diverse sensors and data sources, making it highly scalable and adaptable to evolving compliance standards.
Real-Time Insights
Unlike traditional survey reports that rely on outdated data, RSCT provides up-to-the-minute monitoring, enabling proactive maintenance and informed decision-making.
Regulatory Compliance & Risk Reduction
By aligning with industry standards, such as Queensland’s mine road design and construction guidelines, RSCT helps mining companies demonstrate compliance and mitigate liability risks.
Strategic Industry Alignment
Through our partnership discussions with ESRI, we are positioning RSCT for enhanced commercial deployment, supporting industry-wide adoption and improving safety outcomes on a global scale.
Driving the Future of Mine Road Safety
RSCT is not just an incremental improvement—it is a new shift in how mine road safety is managed. By transitioning from manual, reactive assessments to an automated, data-driven approach, RSCT empowers mining companies to scale efficiently while significantly improving safety and operational performance. As Spacesium continues to innovate, we remain committed to transforming road safety compliance and driving the future of mining technology.
