An electronic message indicates that a materials handling vehicle is approaching an access-controlled travel path. The materials handling vehicle has a travel system that includes a normal travel mode, a limp travel mode, and a restricted travel mode. An electronic permission request is generated to enter the access-controlled travel path. Additionally, an electronic command is issued to set the travel system to the limp travel mode as the materials handling vehicle engages an entry threshold of the access-controlled travel path. A transceiver receives an electronic permission response that includes a determination of whether the access-controlled travel path is in an open state or a closed state. An electronic command then sets the travel system to the restricted travel mode when the access-controlled travel path is in the closed state, and the normal travel mode when the access-controlled travel path is in the open state.
