Abstract
An electric field proximity alert apparatus for a work machine operating at a worksite includes a set of perception sensors constructed to capture data of the worksite. An electric field sensor is constructed to measure an electric field about the work machine. Processor circuitry is constructed to accept the data captured by the perception sensors and to identify therefrom powerline structure data. The electric field measurement and the powerline structure data are accepted and used to compute electric field strength at selected locations on the work machine. An alert is issued responsive to the computed electric field strengths on the work machine reaching a proximity safety limit to the powerline.
