SOLUTION 04

Vehicle collision prevention

Vehicle-to-vehicle collision risk increases at intersections, in narrow aisles and at racking exits. An early warning gives operators additional time to react.

System warning two forklifts of a potential collision

OPERATING SCENARIO

From detection to a clear response.

Two forklifts travel along intersecting or converging routes. The system assesses distance, direction and time to approach, then warns the operators on the relevant side.

01Vehicles are located
02Algorithm assesses trajectories
03Warning reaches the relevant vehicle
04Operator takes corrective action

POSSIBLE SCOPE

Components selected for the function.

  • Presence and direction detection
  • Radar and zone sensors
  • UWB positioning
  • Operator signalling
  • Situation-dependent scenarios

SITE SURVEY

What do we verify before design?

  • Vehicle route layout
  • Fleet types
  • Environmental interference and constraints

The final scope follows from the location, risk and technical conditions.

MODERN SOLUTIONS

Technologies that may be applied.

Every technology has defined capabilities and limitations. The final configuration is selected for the site conditions and required system response.

01

Vehicle-to-vehicle UWB

Measures the distance between equipped vehicles with a high update rate.

02

LF zones and tags

Create controlled detection fields around a vehicle or an infrastructure point.

03

Short-range radar

Detects untagged objects within a defined sector in front of the vehicle.

04

Directional in-cab warning

Indicates the side of the hazard using light, sound or vibration.
