How do forklift proximity sensors detect pedestrians?

Forklift proximity sensors detect pedestrians using technologies such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB) to measure the distance between forklifts and workers wearing compatible tags. When a pedestrian enters a configured safety range, the system can trigger real-time warnings and automatic slowdown on compatible forklifts.

Trio Mobil enhances this approach with TRIO SAFE AI, combining high-precision UWB proximity detection with forklift-mounted AI cameras to detect pedestrians with or without wearable tags. This multi-layered system supports pedestrian safety in blind spots, intersections, and shared traffic areas, helping reduce collision risks through timely alerts and proactive safety interventions.
