Multifunctional lifting vehicle and related obstacle detection and display system

A multifunctional lifting vehicle, comprising:

• a base frame,
• a lifting unit including at least one operating arm provided with a coupling for mounting an attachment,
• a control system comprising at least one electronic control unit and a plurality of sensors arranged to acquire a plurality of parameters relating to a load and/or to parts of the vehicle, including the at least one operating arm, and
• an obstacle detection and display system comprising:
• a vision system including at least one detection device mounted on at least one part of the vehicle, arranged to acquire data on an environment surrounding the vehicle and on events occurring outside the vehicle, and
• at least one electronic module configured to process a plurality of data acquired by said at least one detection device, in order to:
• recognize a nature of one or more detected obstacles,
• recognize one or more characteristics of the surrounding environment, and
• determine a position and a distance, with respect to the vehicle, for each detected obstacle of the one or more obstacles and/or for each characteristic of the one or more characteristics of the surrounding environment,
• a display device operatively connected to said electronic module, configured and programmed to generate a visualization of the surrounding environment highlighting recognized and processed obstacles, so as to facilitate real-time driving of the vehicle and load management,
• wherein said obstacle detection and display system is further configured to implement safety logics including slowing down, trajectory variation, and/or stopping of the vehicle or of parts thereof.
