Abstract

Cranes are common tools used in industry globally. Significant work has been done to increase the safety of cranes, but danger still arises in the presence of operator error. This paper introduces a crane workspace mapping method via a scanning laser rangefinder to help prevent collisions due to an operator's poor knowledge or view of the workspace. The developed mapping algorithm identifies obstacles within the crane workspace, then, generates and displays a 2D map of it. To demonstrate the proposed algorithm, an example map is generated for a small-scale bridge crane workspace.
