We have a working proximity detection system already on the market that could help with many forklift collision accidents. It was originally developed for similar accident situations in underground mining and is based on the same architecture.

During our research for developing the forklift system, I was amazed at how many accidents occur. Working around them everyday, I think many of us take a soft safety approach towards them, and really have no idea how badly they can hurt you. They don't seem as threatening as larger industrial equipment but are in many ways much more dangerous given their relative speed and agility.
