Forklift Pedestrian Collision Avoidance Solution


According to the latest 2023 data from the European Materials Handling Federation (FEM), the number of forklifts in operation across Europe has exceeded 1.55 million units, representing a 22% increaseover the past five years.

 

Forklifts are indispensable tools for handling and logistics in factories, warehouses, and ports. However, their frequent use also brings significant pedestrian safety risks—statistics show that around 30% of forklift accidents worldwide involve collisions between vehicles and pedestrians, often resulting in injuries, fatalities, operational downtime, and legal liabilities.

 

YUWEI Forklift Pedestrian Collision Avoidance System

YUWEI has developed a new-generation forklift pedestrian collision avoidance systemto address these operational pain points. By combining advanced hardware with intelligent algorithms, the system provides 360° protection (front, rear, and side)for forklift fleets.

Core Hardware Components:

1. Forward / Rearward Collision Detection

Equipped with high-precision millimeter-wave radar and vision sensors, the system continuously scans a 10-meter rangefor pedestrians and obstacles. It supports both stationary and moving target recognition, with a detection accuracy of up to 20 cm.

At low speeds: the system issues audible and visual alerts.

At high speeds: it automatically engages electronic brake assistance, effectively preventing blind-spot collisions and reversing accidents.

 

2. Driver Status Monitor (DSM)

An in-cabin HD camera monitors driver fatigue and distraction in real time (e.g., eyes closed for more than 3 seconds, head turned away for over 5 seconds).

The system instantly triggers audible and visual alerts, eliminating hidden risks from the human factor, vehicle, and environment.

3. Full-Color Display Screen

A 7-inch industrial-grade touchscreendisplays radar coverage, pedestrian distance, vehicle speed, and alert status in real time. It supports multilingual interfaces, ensuring drivers receive critical risk information immediately.

4. HD Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR)

With a built-in 4G/Wi-Fi module, the MDVR records 1080P HD videoand captures snapshots when AI detects risk events. It automatically stores 30 seconds of footage before a collision, providing undeniable evidence for accident investigation and liability determination, while supporting fleet safety management.

5. Audible and Visual Alarm System

High-intensity strobe lights, multi-frequency buzzers, and vibration feedback create a multi-layered warning system. Even in noisy industrial environments, differentiated alerts (e.g., high-frequency buzzer when pedestrians approach, continuous voice prompts during reversing) ensure risks are quickly noticed and accidents minimized.
