According to the embodiments described herein, system and methods for determining relative pose of materials handling vehicles in an industrial environment may include utilizing ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna array systems respective mounted on the materials handling vehicles to send mutually received information to determine the relative pose between the vehicles, determining one or more fields of each materials handling vehicle, and determining one or more overlapping fields between the materials handling vehicles based on the determined one or more fields and the relative pose. A vehicle control may be implemented based on the determined relative pose and the overlapping fields as a field enforcement, such as a control action to avoid collision between the vehicles.
A field enforcement system comprising a first materials handling vehicle comprising a first vehicle body and a first vehicle position processor, and a second materials handling vehicle comprising a second vehicle body and a second vehicle position processor, wherein:
A field enforcement system comprising a vehicle position processor, a first materials handling vehicle comprising a first vehicle body, and a second materials handling vehicle comprising a second vehicle body, wherein:
A method for field enforcement between a first materials handling vehicle and a second materials handling vehicle, the first materials handling vehicle comprising a first vehicle body and a first ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna array mounted to the first vehicle body, the second materials handling vehicle comprising a second vehicle body and a second UWB antenna array mounted to the second vehicle body, the method comprising:
