Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	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. 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 and the speed of the industrial vehicle is received from the speed sensor. A speed warning is generated when the industrial vehicle exceeds the speed limit while located within the restricted speed zone. Preferably the wireless positioning module uses WLAN, GPS, RFID, UWB or inertial navigation. Preferably the speed warning includes a visual cue on a display screen, an aural cue played through a speaker, the illumination of a warning light or the sounding of a horn. A non-compliance message is sent to a remote computer when the operator fails to comply with the speed warnings. It is determined that the operator has not complied with the speed warning if; the vehicle is still speeding after a predetermined period of time or exceeds the speed limit a predetermined number of times.
