SIMULTANEOUS EXPLORATION OF MULTIPLE ZONES FOR HANDLERS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G05D1/02 G01S13/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: proposed invention in general relates to handlers and in particular to systems and methods integrating detection zone data into additional handler wireless remote control means. The method of handler operation uses multiple detection zones and consists in: - determination of the first detection zone covering an area at least partially laying in front of moving forward device; - determination of the second detection zone covering an area at least partially laying in front of moving forward device; - executing the first action if in the first detection zone inadmissible obstacle has been detected; and executing the second action, other than the first, if in the second detection zone inadmissible obstacle has been detected. The method provides that the first and the second detection zones are determined using at least one contactless obstacle sensor transmitting data to controller tuned to control at least one parameter of handler.

EFFECT: improvement of handler operational performance.
