System and method for monitoring an industrial vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring an industrial vehicle having a load-carrying portion and a driver compartment, comprising:
- a first imaging subsystem for acquiring a plurality of load-carrying-portion images;
a cargo-detection subsystem in communication with the first imaging subsystem, the cargo-detection subsystem configured for analyzing each of the plurality of load-carrying-portion images to determine whether cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion;
a power-detection subsystem for determining when the industrial vehicle is running;
a motion-detection subsystem for determining when the industrial vehicle is in motion; and
an analytics subsystem in communication with the cargo-detection subsystem, the power-detection subsystem, and the motion-detection subsystem, the analytics subsystem configured for calculating (i) the amount of time that the industrial vehicle is running;
(ii) the amount of time that the industrial vehicle is running while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion;
(iii) the amount of time the industrial vehicle is in motion; and
(iv) the amount of time the industrial vehicle is in motion while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion.

Abstract
A system and method for monitoring an industrial vehicle are presented. The system includes a first imaging subsystem for acquiring a plurality of load-carrying-portion images. A cargo-detection subsystem is configured for analyzing each of the plurality of load-carrying-portion images to determine whether cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion. A power-detection subsystem is configured for determining when the industrial vehicle is running. A motion-detection subsystem is configured for determining when the industrial vehicle is in motion. An analytics subsystem is configured for calculating the amount of time that the industrial vehicle is running, the amount of time that the industrial vehicle is running while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion, the amount of time the industrial vehicle is in motion, and the amount of time the industrial vehicle is in motion while cargo is positioned on the load-carrying portion.
