SPEED-LIMIT-COMPLIANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A speed-limit-compliance system for an industrial vehicle driven by an operator, comprising:
- a wireless positioning module configured for determining the location within a facility of the industrial vehicle;
a speed sensor configured for determining the speed of the industrial vehicle;
a processor in communication with the speed sensor and the wireless positioning module;
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable program code, wherein, when executed by the processor, the computer readable program code;
receives from the wireless positioning module the location within the facility of the industrial vehicle;
receives the speed of the industrial vehicle from the speed sensor;
stores in the non-transitory computer readable storage medium a speed limit and an associated restricted speed zone; and
generates a speed warning when the industrial vehicle exceeds the speed limit while located within the restricted speed zone.

Abstract
The speed-limit-compliance system for an industrial vehicle driven by an operator includes a wireless positioning module configured for determining the location within a facility of the industrial vehicle. The system also includes a speed sensor configured for determining the speed of the industrial vehicle. A process is in communication with the speed sensor and the wireless positioning module. When executed by the processor, computer readable program code stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium receives from the wireless positioning module the location of the industrial vehicle. The speed of the industrial vehicle is received from the speed sensor. A speed limit and an associated restricted speed zone are stored. A speed warning is generated when the industrial vehicle exceeds the speed limit while located within the restricted speed zone.

19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable program code, wherein, when executed by a processor, the computer readable program code:
-
receives from a wireless positioning module the location within the facility of an industrial vehicle; receives the speed of the industrial vehicle from a speed sensor; receives from a remote computer via a communications network a speed limit and an associated restricted speed zone; stores in the non-transitory computer readable storage medium the speed limit and the restricted speed zone; generates a speed warning when the industrial vehicle exceeds the speed limit while located within the restricted speed zone; and transmits a non-compliance message to the remote computer via the communications network when the operator fails to comply with the speed warning; wherein the remote computer is configured for setting the speed limit and the speed restriction zone based upon a user'"'"'s input.

20. A speed-limit-compliance method for an industrial vehicle driven by an operator, comprising:
-
receiving from a wireless positioning module the location within a facility of the industrial vehicle; receiving the speed of the industrial vehicle from a speed sensor; receiving from a remote computer via a communications network a speed limit and an associated restricted speed zone; storing in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium the speed limit and the restricted speed zone; generating a speed warning when the industrial vehicle exceeds the speed limit while located within the restricted speed zone; and transmitting a non-compliance message to the remote computer via the communications network when the operator fails to comply with the speed warning; wherein the remote computer is configured for setting the speed limit and the speed restriction zone based upon a user'"'"'s input.
