METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETECT AND WARN PROXIMATE ENTITIES OF INTEREST |
摘要 |
Systems and methods to detect and warn proximate entities of interest are described herein. An example hazard warning system for a forktruck includes a controllable light source to project light onto a floor adjacent the forktruck. A hazard discriminator determines when the forktruck poses a hazard to an entity of interest in a vicinity of the forktruck, and responsively generates a hazard output. A controller receives the hazard output and controls the light source such that the light source is in a first state when the hazard output is not received and a second state when the hazard output is received, where the first state is different than the second state. |

1. A hazard warning system for a forktruck, comprising:
a controllable light source to project light onto a floor adjacent the forktruck; a hazard discriminator to determine when the forktruck poses a hazard to an entity of interest in a vicinity of the forktruck, and responsively generate a hazard output; and a controller to receive the hazard output and to control the light source such that the light source is in a first state when the hazard output is not received, and a second state when the hazard output is received, the first state being different than the second state. |
