A process for automating control of an industrial vehicle (802) based on location comprises scanning an environment in a travel direction of the industrial vehicle, by using an optical scanner (808) affixed to the industrial vehicle. A marker defined by a series of tags (810a - 810d) is identified by recursively receiving a reflection of the optical scanner; determining if the reflection is indicative of an optical tag; and concatenating the indication of an optical tag to the marker. Once the marker is identified, the marker is transformed into an environmental condition and a status of the vehicle is determined, where the status correlates to the environmental condition. Further, an automated control is applied on the industrial vehicle based on the environmental condition and the status of the industrial vehicle. There may be a start tag (810a) and an end tag (810d). Where a rack (812) reflects light at a signal value that is different than a signal value from a floor surface, the rack (812) itself can act as a pseudo start tag. An environmental condition may be certain traffic rules for different sections of an industrial environment. Where the optical scanner (808) and laser beam are fixed in an orientation, the process can estimate when and where optical tags will be scanned based on speed of the industrial vehicle as well as the height and distance of the optical tags in relation to the optical scanner (808) and laser beam.
