A dock area control system includes a vehicle proximity detection system (PDSC). The PDSC includes a vehicle low frequency magnetic field generator (MFG) that generates a vehicle pulsed magnetic field that is sensed by a dock area controller electronics module (DEM).

Loading dock area safety system utilizing pulsed magnetic fields

Proximity detection systems and proximity detections methods are disclosed herein. In one aspect of the disclosure the systems and methods include measuring and analyzing the vector components of a generated magnetic field. In another aspect of the present disclosure, the results of the vector component measurements are used to take safety actions which may result in an alert to an operator or pedestrian, and/or automatic action by a vehicle or machine.
