Abstract
A method and system for dealing with obstacles in an industrial truck during a driving operation. The surroundings of the industrial truck are detected on at least one side perpendicular to the locomotion direction using at least one sensor unit. A traveled path is detected using a routing unit. When an object is detected, its lateral distance and position relative to the path are stored. A respective admissible maximum steering angle to the stored objects is determined based on the stored lateral distances and a predetermined movement model of the industrial truck. The smallest steering angles is selected as a critical steering angle. The critical steering angle is compared with a current steering angle, and if the current steering angle is larger than the critical steering angle, a predetermined measure is triggered.
