Abstract
A detection system is usable on a vehicle such as a forklift. The detection system includes a sensor apparatus and a processor apparatus that are configured to detect the proximity of objects and structures that are situated in the vicinity of the forklift, and are further configured to initiate some type of action if the processor apparatus determines that the likelihood of a collision has reached a predetermined threshold. In the event of a collision determination, the processor apparatus outputs a collision signal to an output apparatus that performs any one or more of a variety of predetermined operations responsive to the collision signal. The operations can include reducing an engine speed of the forklift, reducing the velocity of the forklift, operating a movement mechanism to move the forklift platform away from the object or structure, producing audible and/or visual indications of the potential for a collision, and the like.
