Backup Assistance System: Active collision warning for manned forklift trucks

Descriptions:

  • The Backup Assistance System (BAS) minimizes the risk of collisions for manned forklift trucks.
  • It monitors areas of the vehicle which are obstructed from view of the driver. The BAS gives real-time feedback via visual and audible warnings when the forklift truck comes near a stationary or moving object.
  • The compact system is based on a 2D that is engaged only when the forklift truck is in reverse, thereby eliminating false alarms when moving forward. The monitored area can be scaled up by adding an additional .

Features:

  • System is activated when reverse is engaged
  • Three-stage warning concept with tri-color visual and configurable audible levels up to 98 dB
  • Two customizable alert zones per sensor
  • Monitored areas scalable with a second TiM3xx LiDAR sensor
  • Control unit provides the necessary logic for the sensors and regulates its voltage supply

Areas of application Indoor and outdoor areas (8 m)
Laser class 1 (IEC 60825-1:2014, EN 60825-1:2014)
Number of laser scanners 1 2
Monitored area Rear of vehicle Rear of vehicle

Blind spot or side cover

Power consumption 10 W (typical), 13 W (maximum)
Enclosure rating IP65 / IP67
Ambient temperature, operation –20 °C … +50 °C

 Application:

 

One sensor alone reliably detects objects behind the manned forklift truck.

A system variant with two sensors is well suited for targeted coverage of blind spots.

The use of two sensors is also recommended in environments with complex travel paths in order to provide optimal protection for lateral areas.
