Thank you Louis for explaining your need for an engineering control to avoid collisions.

From your statement, "...we have 2 truck collisions inside the same guided aisle due to operator negligence.", to what extent is an engineering control going to change operator's negligent behavior?

Operator's habitual negligence, if I understand the cause correctly, MAY be less if you influence it with an engineering control. So I'm curious to know the extent to which such hardware engineering is going to solve your collision problem...rooted in human-inspired negligence.

Please keep us informed.

Thanks again,

Joe Monaco
