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.
