  • Patent number: 7568547
    Abstract: A drive control apparatus for a forklift. Based on the load state, it is determined whether to limit a maximum vehicle speed and an acceleration/deceleration during traveling of the forklift. Limitation contents regarding the maximum vehicle speed and the acceleration/deceleration is determined based on a determination result of whether to put the limitations. A speed of the engine is adjusted based on the determined limitation contents, thereby controlling driving of the forklift. When the determined limitation contents are changed, an acceleration/deceleration limitation value is selected from a plurality of acceleration/deceleration limitation values according to the pattern of the change of the limitation contents, and drive control related to the acceleration/deceleration is executed to limit the acceleration/deceleration of the forklift by using the selected acceleration/deceleration limitation value.

  • Patent number: 7516810
    Abstract: In an industrial vehicle, a controller controls an energizing state of an electromagnetic control valve. The controller is electrically connected to a driver detection switch and a position detection switch. The controller breaks energization of the electromagnetic control valve if the driver detection switch detects that a driver of the vehicle is not seated. The controller energizes or reenergizes the electromagnetic control valve if the driver detection switch detects that the driver is seated and the position detection switch detects that the manipulation position of the direction indication member is a neutral position and then a forward or backward position.

  • Publication number: 20070072619
    Abstract: A method and system for generating an automated location-indicating response to a call is useful for identifying a present location of a callee mobile device. The method includes receiving a call, transmitted from a caller device, at a callee mobile device (step 305). An automated response to the call is then generated, the response including location data that indicate a present location of the callee mobile device (step 320).
