Title
Performance measurements towards improved manufacturing vehicle safety
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the current 2D (two dimensional) sensor used for industrial vehicles and ideal sensor configurations for mounting 3D imagers on manufacturing vehicles in an attempt to make them safer. In a search for the ideal sensor configuration, three experiments were performed using an advanced 3D imager and a color camera. The experiments are intended to be useful to the standards community and manned and unmanned forklift and automated guided vehicle industries. The imager that was used was a 3D Flash LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) camera with 7.5 m range and rapid detection. It was selected because it shows promise for use on forklifts and other industrial vehicles. Experiments included: 1) detection of standard sized obstacles, 2) detection of obstacles with highly reflective surfaces within detection range, and 3) detection of forklift tines above the floor. We briefly describe these experiments and reference their detailed reports.
