Abstract
The invention relates to a method for monitoring and controlling the navigation of an automated guided vehicle. The vehicle comprises a fork, a primary sensor, a secondary sensor, and a controller. The method comprises: monitoring movement of the vehicle in a normal mode between first position and second position and monitoring movement of the vehicle in an object handling mode between said second position and a target position. The monitoring in the object handling mode includes: establishing the change of distance between the vehicle and the object in two points in time based on distance obtained by the primary sensor, measuring a distance travelled by the vehicle during the two points in time by said secondary sensor, and comparing the change of distance and the measure distance and based on the comparing result determine if correction of the motion of the vehicle is needed.
