Method for traversing a route of an industrial truck for receiving or dispensing a load

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for traveling an approach path of an industrial truck for picking up or delivering a load, including the steps of obtaining an ideal target position for picking up or delivering the load, planning a first path to be traveled from the current first location of the industrial truck to the ideal target position on the basis of at least one predetermined first planning criterion, traveling along the planned first path, the industrial truck detecting its surroundings by means of at least one sensor unit while traveling along the planned first path, evaluating the detection data supplied by the at least one sensor unit to determine an actual target position of the load, planning an optimized second path starting from a second location on the first path of the industrial truck to the actual target position on the basis of at least one predetermined second planning criterion, and travelling the planned second path from the second location to the actual target position.
