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 15):
A tangible computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a signaling device to at least:\n emit a first signal in response to (1) a first output from a first sensor indicative of movement in a pedestrian area of a dock, (2) a second output from an incoming sensor indicative that a vehicle is not present in a second area, and (3) a third output from a bi-directional sensor indicative that the vehicle is in a third area moving away from the dock; emit a second signal in response to (1) a fourth output from the bi-directional sensor indicative of the vehicle moving toward the dock, (2) a fifth output from the first sensor indicative of no movement in the pedestrian area and (3) the second output from the incoming sensor; and emit a third signal in response to (1) the first output from the first sensor, (2) a sixth output from the bi-directional sensor indicative that no vehicle is present in the third area, and (3) the second output from the incoming sensor.
