Abstract: A system is provided for use in an industrial loading dock wherein the location of an industrial vehicle is detected and tracked in real-time, and one or more safety zones are created such that a computer or microcontroller triggers a response in the industrial vehicle upon the vehicle's entry into each such zone. The system includes a plurality of anchor radio transceivers positioned in proximity to a workspace. Each anchor radio transceiver is positioned in a known location such that the plurality of anchor radio transceivers form a fixed array of anchor radio transceivers. At least one mobile radio transceiver associated with a mobile industrial vehicle is also provided. The mobile radio transceiver is configured to exchange data packets of information with one or more of the plurality of anchor radio transceivers. A computer is provided that is in communication with the fixed array of radio transceivers.
