  regulated to avoid any kind of chaos and
  workplace accidents. While taking about the
  inside traffic of warehouse, it is a heady
  combination of pedestrian workforce and heavy
  machinery that work and coordinate with each
  other. Usually at such places, forklifts constitut

corners that are located at the end of each
aisle. Usually such area are blind spots and the
