Abstract
A telematics system and method for monitoring objects in a space having a worker and a lifting apparatus or piece of equipment is described. The telematics system may comprise a base station in communication with a plurality of portable units. The portable units may comprise a position sensor and may secure to a lifting apparatus, worker, or other person or equipment. The portable units may communicate the location of the lifting apparatus, worker, or other person or equipment to the base station. The base station may compare or dynamically generate a safety zone around the locations of the lifting apparatus, worker, or other person or equipment to the base station. The base station may issue an alert if a lifting apparatus, worker, or other person or equipment comes within a predetermined distance of or within the safety zone around a different lifting apparatus, worker, or other person or equipment.
