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 TiM3xx 2D LiDAR sensor 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 sensor.

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
