Forklift-pedestrian detection

Detection of vehicle and pedestrian paths that may converge in a warehouse or yard.

What it means

Forklift-pedestrian detection tracks people, vehicles, and floor geometry to identify path conflicts before contact. It is most useful in blind corners, dock doors, and cross-aisles.

Why it matters

The best pilot zones are places where camera views see both the vehicle path and pedestrian path early enough for a warning to matter.

Evaluation questions

Can the camera see enough floor path to predict convergence?

Which local signal or VMS alarm changes behavior fastest?

How are near misses reviewed after the shift?
