Abstract

22523006_1 (GHMatters) P110063.AU.2 A system for controlling an industrial vehicle comprising: a badge communicator on an industrial vehicle that communicates with electronic badges that are in range of the badge communicator; and a controller on the industrial vehicle that is coupled to memory, wherein the controller executes program code stored in the memory to: receive, from a remote server via a transceiver on the industrial vehicle, predetermined criteria that characterize a modification to at least one of a size and a shape of an awareness zone based upon a current state of the industrial vehicle, where the awareness zone is a virtual zone different from but contained within a maximum detection zone determined by a maximum physical limit to a range of the badge communicator; receive from the badge communicator, an indication that the badge communicator has detected the presence of an electronic badge within the maximum detection zone; receive from the badge communicator, a measured distance to the electronic badge; and determine whether the detected electronic badge is within the awareness zone based upon the measured distance, an evaluation of the current state of the industrial vehicle, and the predetermined criteria; and automatically send an electronic command to at least one vehicle component responsive to the detected electronic badge being within the currently established awareness zone.
