The protective field must be wide enough to cover the width of the loaded vehicle with
supplement
s for measurement error and the lack of ground clearance. When calculat‐
ing the protective field width, the impact of turning must be considered separately.
If you define a number of monitoring cases with different protective fields, you must cal‐
culate the protective field size separately for each protective field used.

or lack of ground clearance
This supplement is necessary, because, generally, a person is detected above the foot
and t
he braking process cannot take account of the length of the foot in front of the
point of detection. A person’s foot could be injured if a vehicle has no ground clearance.
