Abstract A guidance system for a material handling vehicle, comprising: a sensor configured to: measure a distance to an external object within a field of view of the sensor; and output a distance information corresponding to the measured distance; and a processor unit in communication with the sensor, the processor unit being configured to: receive the distance information from the sensor; transform the distance information from a sensor coordinate system to a material handling vehicle coordinate system; perform pattern recognition on the transformed distance information to identify an aisle feature; create an aisle model based on the identified aisle feature; and determine a guidance instruction for the material handling vehicle based on the aisle model.
