Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating an industrial truck operable in an at least partially automated manner, in which at least the following steps are carried out in an automated manner by the industrial truck: a) detecting that the industrial truck approaches a point at which it is to change its driving direction, b) checking at least one predefined direction change criterion for the intended driving direction change, and c) stopping the industrial truck if the at least one direction change criterion is not met.

Abstract: An automated guided vehicle configured for driverless, autonomously acting operation for a load to be transported includes a control system configured to control and to steer the automated guided vehicle, an evaluation unit configured to generate a signal for stopping the automated guided vehicle, and a detector device configured to detect an arrangement of the load and/or of a lifting platform. The detector device is connected to the control system. The automated guided vehicle is stopped automatically when the detected arrangement of the load deviates from a predefined arrangement of the load and/or as a result of an expected lowering of the lifting platform.
