A system comprising a tag layout and an industrial vehicle, wherein: the industrial vehicle comprises storage and retrieval hardware, a tag reader, a reader module, and a vehicle controller; the storage and retrieval hardware is configured to store and retrieve items from selected storage elements positioned along an aisle path; the tag reader and the reader module cooperate to identify individual tags along the aisle path; the tag reader comprises two read antennas positioned on opposite sides of a longitudinal travel axis of the industrial vehicle; the read antennas define respective read ranges and generate respective tag read signals when tags enter the respective read ranges of the read antennas; the tag layout comprises individual tags along only one side of the aisle path such that one of the read antennas will be positioned over the individual tags of the tag layout regardless of the direction of travel of the industrial vehicle; the tag reader and the reader module further cooperate to generate a vehicle direction signal when the individual tags are identified primarily with reference to tag read signals from only one of the two read antennas; the vehicle controller controls vehicle functionality partially as a function of the vehicle direction signal.
