Industrial vehicle

An industrial vehicle comprising:

• a driving device;
• an accelerator pedal and an accelerator sensor configured to detect an accelerator opening degree of the accelerator pedal;
• and
• a travel control device configured to control the driving device;
• an object detection unit configured to detect a position of an object present around the industrial vehicle;
• at least one memory configured to store computer program code;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory and operate as instructed by the computer program code, the computer program code including:
• a first control code configured to set a limit value, when a vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle is in a first vehicle speed range, for imposing a speed limit including at least one of a vehicle speed limit and an acceleration limit of the industrial vehicle;
• a second control code configured to set the limit value when the vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle is in a second vehicle speed range;
• and
• a speed limit code configured to impose the speed limit according to the limit value selected from the limit value set by the first control code and the limit value set by the second control code, wherein
• a lower limit value of the second vehicle speed range is higher than a lower limit value of the first vehicle speed range,
• the first control code includes:
• a starting prohibition control code configured to set, in a starting prohibition state, the limit value such that traveling of the industrial vehicle is prohibited when the object is detected by the object detection code, and
• a starting permission control code configured to set, in a forced operation state, the limit value such that the traveling of the industrial vehicle is permitted when the at least one processor determines that an operator of the industrial vehicle recognizes a presence of the object based upon detecting that the operator has released the accelerator pedal after a transition into the starting prohibition state, and
• the speed limit code configured to impose the speed limit according to the limit value set by the first control code when the limit value is set by the starting permission control code.
