en.Wedoany.com Reported - Toyota Material Handling France has recently introduced a new assistance system called ODA (Operator Detection Assist) for pedestrian pallet trucks and stackers, aimed at preventing operational accidents. The company's Managing Director, Eric Loustau, reiterated that the primary goal remains zero accidents.

ODA is a continuous active protection system that monitors the operator's position and responds to hazardous situations in real time. The system uses environmental information and interactions detected by smart sensors to automatically adjust forklift behavior, preventing collisions before they occur. For example, when the operator stands in front of the equipment, the system can identify their position within a preset safety zone and adjust speed, acceleration, and braking parameters. This immediate response reduces kinetic energy, thereby lowering the risk of foot crush injuries.

The system is integrated with a "soft" mode by default and remains activated. Toyota Material Handling explains that the steering angle can automatically trigger the soft mode, ensuring stable and predictable vehicle behavior by reducing speed. For long-distance travel, the system features a dedicated transport mode that temporarily disables detection to facilitate extended driving and passage through doorways, with the protection function automatically reactivating afterward.
