Systems and methods for creating on-demand routes for powered industrial vehicles

摘要

Systems and methods for creating in a facility on-demand routes for powered industrial vehicles to transport cargo efficiently. In one embodiment, an on-demand route generation module receives receiving a request to move cargo. The module analyzes data about the current location, the current tasking, and the driver availability of PIVs in operation. Based on the information, the module creates an on-demand route through the facility and sends a notification to an assigned PIV to pick up the cargo and carry it on the defined on-demand route.

1. A powered industrial vehicle (PIV) configured to increase safety while transporting an item from a first location to a second location, the PIV comprising:
an odometric sensor configured to determine a distance traveled by the PIV; a speedometer configured to determine the PIV speed; a weight sensor configured to determine a load applied to the PIV; a collision sensor configured to detect a collision; an interface module connected to the odometric sensor, the speedometer, and the weight sensor, the interface module comprising:
a processor;a memory; anda user interface configured to provide information to the a user and to receive inputs from the user;wherein the interface module is configured to receive information from the odometric sensor, the speedometer, and the weight sensor, and the collision sensor to identify a collision and to determine a pre-collision operating characteristic of the PIV.
