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?
