In modern warehouse and logistics operation scenarios, mixed movement of forklifts and on-site staff is a very common situation. Under high-intensity daily operation schedules, staff often need to move between storage racks, sort goods, and complete other side-line work, which will generate multiple dynamic intersections with the operation routes of material handling vehicles. Traditional safety management measures including on-site sign reminding and driver training can hardly cover all blind areas or respond to sudden status changes in real time, which may bring potential safety risks to on-site personnel and normal operation order.

The forklift pedestrian safety system is developed to match the actual demand of such scenarios. It relies on multi-dimensional sensing modules arranged around the vehicle to cover all common blind areas that are hard for drivers to observe. When the system detects pedestrians within the preset safe range around the operating forklift, it will trigger multi-level warning mechanism step by step. The first level of warning will send out audible and visual prompts to remind the driver to pay attention to nearby pedestrian conditions. If the distance between the vehicle and the pedestrian continues to shrink, the system will assist the vehicle to decelerate gently, so as to effectively reduce the risk of collision, and the whole process will not interfere with the normal operation rhythm of drivers under safe conditions.

For electric forklift users, this safety system can make up for the inherent characteristic that electric forklifts run with much lower noise than traditional internal combustion forklifts, which makes it difficult for pedestrians around to notice the approaching vehicle in time. The system does not need large-scale modification on the original structure of the forklift, and can be well adapted to most daily storage operation scenarios, helping the operation party to improve the safety management level of the whole site, and reduce unexpected operation interruption caused by safety risks.
