Abstract
In many logistics processes, industrial trucks, e.g., forklifts and reach stackers, are used to move heavy load. Their usage often causes serious accidents, e.g., collisions of two trucks or trucks and persons. To reduce the risk of collisions, tracking systems can be integrated into a monitoring of logistics processes. Dynamically changing environments of logistics processes introduce special challenges including changing weather conditions and limited visibilities. In this paper, we describe our approach of a collision detection system based on an industrial radio-based real-time location system (RTLS) and evaluate its accuracy and usability in an application scenario including an outdoor storage of metallic objects.
