Collision Avoidance

Real-Time Location Tracking

Intelligent Collision Avoidance System for industrial vehicles

INTRANAV Collision Avoidance is a predictive driver assistance system for forklift trucks, milk runs, AGvs in the warehouse and motor vehicles in the yard. The emergency brake assistant warns the driver in case of danger, initiates emergency braking in combination with safety systems or supports the driver in critical situations with obstacles by automatically reducing the driving speed. Persons in the warehouse or yard are also protected by also being able to see the real-time position of vehicles, warning projectors signal the release of vehicles, and the additional use of beepers enables signal warnings in case of obstacles in the yard.
Collisions are thus significantly reduced and possible collisions can be predicted by using real-time location data and the networking of all shopfloor attendants, so that they do not occur in the first place.

Challenges in
Transport Safety Management

Indoor & Yard Management

  • Personal injury, material and vehicle damage due to collisions

    Unseen areas or passages are often grey areas for all those involved in the store floor, where vehicles cannot react in time, increasing the risk of accidents.

    Goal

    Overview of the entire shopfloor as well as areas that are being used at any given moment. As well as warnings, for approaching objects/persons.

  • Inefficiencies and idle time when selecting transport routes

    Manual route selection cannot anticipate the current traffic situation, resulting in traffic jams, extended travel times or incidents.

    Goal

    A predictive, adaptive routing system that predicts and automatically suggests a new transport route to drivers in case of traffic jams or high route utilization.

  • Wastage of energy resources

    Automatic door opening of passing vehicles, constant speed adjustments, detours through traffic jams and other situations lead to a high consumption of resources and wear and tear.

    Goal

    Efficient transport control and energy-saving use of automated control systems.

Real-Time Location Data as the basis for a secure
and intelligent transport flow

  • 1

    Prozesssicherheit des gesamten industriellen Transportflusses

    Vehicles (autonomous, non-autonomous) and people are digitally networked with each other and can thus react proactively to dangerous situations. A precise distance measurement (up to ± 10 cm based on UWB, as well as technology independent expandable).

  • 2

    Real-time alerts to prevent and mitigate critical situations

    Alerts indicate collision hazards in real time, helping to prevent accidents.

  • 3

    Efficiency & collision avoidance through zone-based speed limitation

    Due to the dynamic speed reduction when controlling roller doors or production lines, compliance with safety precautions is guaranteed.

RTLS Collision Avoidance for secure transport flows
and efficient logistics processes

Together with partners, such as transport providers of control systems, INTRANAV developed solutions such as collision avoidance and assistance navigation, which can have direct access to vehicle control (autonomous, non-autonomous) and warning systems.

Collision warning system

Indoor & Yard Management

  • INTRANAV.IO displays approaching vehicles, persons and objects with an accuracy of up to ± 10 cm via the Digital Twin platform.
  • As soon as the specified safety distance is exceeded, the driver receives a warning message via our IoT platform.
  • In addition, so-called auto-blocking can force the vehicle to stop or reduce speed to avoid collisions.

“Look around the corner” with the Predictive Collision System

Indoor & Yard Management

  • People, vehicles and objects are recognized by transport vehicle drivers through the real-time location data via the Digital Twin. This means that the driver is able to see whether an employee or a vehicle is behind a corner, aisle or locked gate and can thus take evasive action in good time if oncoming objects are in the warehouse or production.
  • INTRANAV.IO issues a warning message if there should be a vehicle or persons in the immediate vicinity or behind a locked gate.

Dynamic release for driving on logistics areas that are not accessible

Indoor & Yard Management

  • INTRANAV.IO issues a warning message if a vehicle or persons should be in the immediate vicinity or behind a locked gate.

Adaptive Routing

Indoor & Yard Management

  • With INTRANAV, vehicles (autonomous, non-autonomous) are able to find a new transport route autonomously in the event of traffic jams or high route utilization, thanks to real-time location and routing algorithms.
    In this case, an optimal alternative route is suggested to the vehicle, which is based on the safest and shortest route and a route with low traffic volume in order to avoid queues and route congestion.

    The high flexibility of the dynamic procedure is achieved by the exchange of constant real-time location and control information.

    The goal is to ensure efficient and even transport route utilization, whereby unused secondary routes are also included in the route planning to ensure an optimized and safe transport and material flow.

Speed reduction when heading a rolling shutter gate, dynamic door opening & visual alerting

Indoor & Yard Management

  • Speed reduction when controlling a roller door, dynamic opening of the door and visual alarm
  • Roller doors detect the direction of travel of passing vehicles, the opening is only performed when specifically controlled. SMART sensors, which are integrated in the INTRANAV.RTLS TAGs, high-speed doors communicate the direction of travel of passing vehicles. With this intelligent solution, you save energy and at the same time the wear and tear on the doors is significantly reduced.
  • High-speed doors recognize access-authorized vehicles/drivers, doors are only opened upon authorization
  • Warning projectors or Andon lamps can be coupled with INTRANAV so that people are also visually warned of passing transport vehicles.

Personnel security in the yard: Loading of trucks & general transport

Indoor & Yard Management

  • Persons in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle are reliably detected with INTRANAV so that dangerous situations are avoided during loading.
  • The additional use of beepers warns of danger of collision in the open field
