Abstract

A method for dealing with obstacles in an industrial truck, including detecting a current speed and a current steering angle of at least one steered wheel of the industrial truck using a speed sensor or a steering angle sensor. The method also includes calculating a protection zone based on the current speed and the current steering angle and evaluating data supplied by the at least one sensor unit within the protection zone. Responsive to detecting an obstacle in the protection zone, the method includes calculating a specific steering angle difference on a right side and a left side, the specific steering angle difference being such that collision with the obstacle is avoided on the respective side and one or more of, based on the calculated right side and left side steering angle differences, classifying a current degree of difficulty in avoiding obstacles or triggering a predetermined action.
