Radioactive waste transportation trucks

Manufactured two identical radiocative waste transportation trucks based on Iveco Eurocargo 4x4 chassis. Cargo area is custom made for our project in mind. Complicated security system with video cameras is installed. Mobile radio stations are for short distance communication.

Driver's area has 4 additional screens: GPS system "Garmin", rear view camera monitor and two monitors for driver, codriver to inspect camera system feed (the latter one is installed on the onterior roof of the cabin, opens like a laptop). The radio stations charging stations are securely installed in the center console, in between the drivers seat and codrivers bench.

Security system is is comprised of several main components: video camera system enables the user to view the interior of the cargo area in complete darkness (infrared night vision camera) and follow the temperatures of the cargo (infrared thermal imaging cameras). Cargo and drivers areas have separate security systems and can send/receive signals to/from monitoring centers. Heat and smoke detectors are installed in cargo area aswell.

Because the transported cargo is radioactive the interior of the cargo are is coered in a material that is prepared for decontamination with the ground texturized to prevent accidents in wet conditions. All of the gaps are hermetically sealed. Keeping in mind the waste container dimensions each of the cargo strap point are placed logically to not only fit all of the containers but to keep the vehicle stable. Supplied with the right length chains and lockable chain tensioners. 

According to end user requirements a removable lead wall is attached to the cargo area box, which helps to protects the driver and other personnel from unwanted radiation while transporting the cargo. Can be removed if not needed while transporting especially heavy cargo.
