Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Forklift overall width = 1.2
  • Forklift overall length = 3.2
  • Forklift wheelbase = 1.8
  • Maximum steering angle (radians) = 0.698132

Expected Result:

  • Minimum aisle-side clearance distance = 1.830415712185

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Minimum aisle-side clearance distance = 1.830415712185 m.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

minimum aisle-side clearance distance = sqrt(pow(forklift overall length / 2 + forklift wheelbase * tan(radians) / 2, 2) + pow(forklift overall width / 2, 2)) - forklift overall width / 2
