Pedestrian Detection Event Dashboard
Yale Lift Truck Technologies has launched a pedestrian detection event dashboard that tracks when pedestrians come within approximately three, 10 or 16 feet of a lift truck. This information allows warehouses to better understand operator and pedestrian behavior as it relates to forklift safety, and to take action to help reduce the risk of accidents, such as updating pedestrian boundaries and having coaching discussions.
The dashboard is available at no additional cost to customers who already use the Yale Reliant pedestrian awareness camera and the advanced tier of the Yale Vision wireless verification telemetry solution.
Key information operations can learn from the system include:
Total number of pedestrian events across the fleet of equipped trucks
Time and date of events
Proximity and location of events around the lift truck
Number of events per truck
Additional details on each event, such as whether the truck was stationary or in motion
The Yale Reliant pedestrian awareness camera solution can identify pedestrians at ranges up to 16 feet through a 110-degree field of view and provides automatic alerts to the lift truck operator when a pedestrian is detected. Operations can get the camera system with audible and visual alerts only, with a voiceover communicating pedestrian proximity and a light indicating which zone the pedestrian is in on the truck-mounted operator remote. They can also go a step further with optional traction alerts that automatically and gradually slow down the lift truck, encouraging lift truck operators to take action to avoid the detected pedestrian by slowing down, steering away or both.
