Systems and methods for detecting and reporting hazards on a pathway

A safety system for detecting a hazard on a pathway and reporting information relating to the hazard to a user, the system comprising:

• a first sensor system configured to detect a presence of the user within an activation field of the first sensor system as the user enters the pathway;
• a second sensor system to be activated by the first sensor system based on the detected presence of the user within the activation field by the first sensor system, the second sensor system configured to detect an object within a sensor field of the second sensor system, the sensor field including at least a portion of the pathway,
• wherein, in response to detecting the object within the sensor field, the second sensor system obtains object information relating to the object, including at least a relative location of the object within the pathway, and generates an object signal based on the object information, and
• wherein the second sensor system is further configured to track a position of the object as it moves within the pathway from a first position to a second position to identify a movement of the object within the pathway;
• and
• a reporting system in communication with the second sensor system, the reporting system receiving the object signal from the second sensor system and generating a warning signal to communicate the detected object information to the user regarding the object within the pathway based on the object signal, the warning signal comprising and communicating the object information to the user to notify the user about the object on the pathway.
