• Systematic study of OBW is provided for improving the visibility
• The feedback force have been proposed & a haptic interface is developed to
implement the proposed control approach.
• Experimental results demonstrated that OBW can improves forklift operations by
• Experimental results demonstrated that OBW can improves forklift operations by
giving one more interaction channel between drivers & vehicles regardless to
the height of masts and the intensity of illumination.
