[0020] In addition, the terms in the following are defined based on the functions in the application, and can be different according to the intention or habit of the user or the user. Therefore, these terms are defined based on the entire content of the specification.

[0022] The detection device is used to detect the state of the electric forklift and the behavior of the driver, and to transmit signals to the alarm module for alarm when danger occurs, including people or obstacles within the safety range of the electric forklift, abnormal driver behavior, etc.

[0023] The AI intelligent processing module is built-in in advance with multiple simulation scenarios, and the AI intelligent processing module processes the received data information, so as to judge the monitored information, the AI intelligent processing module is a prior art, which has strong learning ability, the AI intelligent processing module can monitor the driver state, vehicle body state and external environment of the vehicle body in real time, so as to respond in time.

[0024] The processor also includes a photographing module, which includes an internal camera and an external camera, which transmits the real-time photographing of the driver to the driver state detection module through the internal camera, analyzes the real-time state of the driver through the driver state detection module, and transmits the analyzed data to the vehicle terminal, the driver state detection module includes whether the safety belt is worn, whether the hands are held on the steering wheel, fatigue driving recognition, etc., and also includes whether the driver plays mobile phone, makes or receives phone call and smokes, etc. The behaviors affecting driving safety, when the above situations are detected, the vehicle terminal will send the signal affecting driving safety to the alarm module through the AI intelligent processing module, the alarm module includes sound alarm and light alarm, which stimulates the driver to be awake through sound and light, preventing accidents.

[0025] The external camera is arranged outside the vehicle, which can take pictures of the scene outside the vehicle body to obtain the road condition, and output the data to the external environment detection module, and obtain whether the abnormality occurs on the action path of the electric forklift through the external environment detection module, the external environment detection module transmits the abnormal signal to the AI intelligent processing module, and the AI intelligent processing module transmits the abnormal signal to the vehicle terminal for analysis and processing.

[0026] The external environment detection module includes an infrared sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. The infrared sensor can accurately identify the human body and is adaptable to various light sources, including nighttime and backlight conditions, ensuring personnel safety and preventing accidents.

When an obstacle appears within the safe range, it sends an alarm signal, which is then transmitted through the alarm module to warn the driver to avoid the obstacle.

[0027] The specific implementation involves pre-installing multiple simulated scenarios within the AI ​​intelligent processing module. After receiving and processing the data, the AI ​​intelligent processing module makes judgments based on the monitored information.

An internal camera takes real-time photos of the driver, which are then transmitted to the driver state detection module. This module analyzes the driver's real-time state and transmits the analyzed data to the in-vehicle terminal. If an abnormal driver state is detected, the in-vehicle terminal sends a signal affecting driving safety to the alarm module via the AI ​​intelligent processing module. The alarm module responds with sound. The system uses light stimulation to keep the driver alert and prevent accidents. An external camera takes real-time photos of the environment outside the forklift to capture road conditions. An external environment detection module detects any abnormalities in the road conditions and transmits these signals to an AI intelligent processing module. The AI ​​module then transmits the abnormalities to the onboard terminal, which converts the signals into images or commands and displays them on the interactive screen. Simultaneously, the onboard terminal issues timely alarms via an alarm module, prompting the driver to check the display screen for any abnormalities and take appropriate action to prevent accidents. This comprehensive, accurate, and reliable detection system effectively prevents accidents.
