Abstract:
Pedestrian-Vehicle safety systems for loading docks are disclosed herein. An example safety system includes a first sensor to monitor a first area adjacent a dock, a bi-directional sensor to signal both incoming movement and outgoing movement of a vehicle relative to the dock, and an incoming sensor to signal only incoming movement of the vehicle relative to the dock. A signaling device is responsive to outputs of at least one of the first sensor, the bi-directional sensor, and the incoming sensor.

Claim (Index 20):
A safety system for a dock, the safety system comprising:\n a first sensor to sense movement in a pedestrian area of a loading dock; a bi-directional sensor to detect a presence and a directional movement of a vehicle at a first area of the loading dock; an incoming sensor to sense movement of the vehicle toward the loading dock at a second area of the loading dock, the second area located between the pedestrian area and the first area; a signaling device to emit at least one of a first signal, a second signal, a third signal and a fourth signal; and a controller to:\n cause the signaling device to emit the first signal when movement is detected in the pedestrian area, the vehicle is detected moving away from the loading dock in the first area, and the vehicle is not detected moving toward the loading dock in the second area; \n cause the signaling device to emit the second signal when no movement is detected in the pedestrian area and at least one of the vehicle is detected moving toward the loading dock in the first area and the vehicle is detected moving toward the loading dock in the second area; and \n cause the signaling device to emit the third signal when movement is detected in the pedestrian area and the vehicle is not detected in the first area and the second area.
