Driver assistance systems Backup Assistance System - SICK

The Backup Assistance System (BAS) from SICK minimizes the risk of collisions for manned forklift trucks. It monitors areas of the vehicle which are obstructed from view of the driver.

The BAS gives real-time feedback via visual and audible warnings when the forklift truck comes near a stationary or moving object. The compact system is based on a TiM3xx 2D LiDAR sensor that is engaged only when the forklift truck is in reverse, thereby eliminating false alarms when moving forward. The monitored area can be scaled up by adding an additional sensor.
