A method of operating a material transport vehicle ('MTV'), for transporting glass substrates used in the manufacture of image arrays in a clean room factory environment includes accepting a user input for initiating forward motion of the MTV, configuring a plurality of safety zones proximate to the MTV, detecting an intrusion into one of the plurality of safety zones, and limiting a maximum allowable forward motion of the MTV by an amount determined by the proximity of the safety zone to the MTV. The method includes further steps for additional safety, cleanliness, productivity, and maintainability improvements.
