Chapter 2: Safety
Obstacles
If the AIV will be entering high-traffic areas, the user must take appropriate precautions to
alert people in those areas that a AIV might enter. If the traffic consists of other machines, the
user must adjust the AIV‘s and/or the other machine’s parameters to reduce the risk of a col-
lision.
Safety Scanning Laser Emergency Stop
If an obstacle enters the AIV’s immediate path, the safety scanning laser will trigger an emer-
gency stop. After the AIV has come to a complete stop, it will wait a minimum of two seconds
before resuming commanded motion, with no human intervention necessary.
l
If the obstacle is still in the AIV’s path, and there is adequate room, it will first attempt
to safely path plan and maneuver around the obstacle.
l
If the AIV can’t simply maneuver around the obstacle, it will search for another path to
reach its goal.
If it can’t find another path, it will wait for human intervention.
