ACCIDENT PREVENTION SYSTEM FOR A DOOR OR PASSAGEWAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17837420 titled 'ACCIDENT PREVENTION SYSTEM FOR A DOOR OR PASSAGEWAY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an accident prevention system for a loading dock doorway. The system includes two sensors and an alert system.

  • The first sensor detects objects in a specific location with a height greater than a predetermined height.
  • The second sensor activates when the first sensor detects an object with a height greater than the predetermined height.
  • The second sensor then detects objects in a different location.
  • The alert system generates a humanly-perceivable alert when an object is detected in the second location after the second sensor is activated.

Potential Applications

  • Loading docks: The system can be used to prevent accidents and collisions between objects and loading dock doors.
  • Warehouses: It can be implemented in warehouses to enhance safety and prevent accidents during loading and unloading operations.

Problems Solved

  • Collision prevention: The system helps prevent collisions between objects and loading dock doors, reducing the risk of accidents and damage.
  • Enhanced safety: By providing an alert when an object is detected in a specific location, the system improves safety measures in loading dock areas.

Benefits

  • Accident prevention: The system helps prevent accidents and collisions by detecting objects in specific locations and generating alerts.
  • Increased efficiency: By reducing the risk of accidents and damage, the system allows for smoother loading and unloading operations, improving overall efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

An accident prevention system for a doorway of a loading dock is provided. The system includes a first sensor configured to detect an object in a first predetermined location and having a height that is greater than a predetermined height. A second sensor is configured to activate responsive to detection by the first sensor of an object having a height that is greater than the predetermined height. The second sensor is also configured to detect an object in a second predetermined location after activation of the second sensor. An alert system is configured to generate a humanly-perceivable alert responsive to detection of the object in the second predetermined location after the activation of the second sensor.
