    摘要: A method at a sensor apparatus affixed to a transportation asset. The method includes calibrating the sensor apparatus by initiating a vertical impact at the transportation asset, measuring spring oscillation and creating a model of the transportation asset. The method further includes detecting, subsequent to the calibrating, an impact event at the sensor apparatus. The method further includes measuring spring oscillation due to the impact event at the sensor apparatus and using the measured spring oscillation in the model created during calibration to create a load mass estimate for the transportation asset.

    摘要: A method for determining the payload mass resting on a wheel of a vehicle. In the method: using a level sensor system, in a time period in which the vehicle is moved, a time series of measured values is detected, which each indicate the vertical position of the vehicle body in relation to the wheel; a model is provided for the temporal development of the vertical position under the influence of the gravitational force of vehicle body and payload, an elastic suspension between the vehicle body and the wheel of the vehicle, and a damping of the vertical relative movement between the vehicle body and the wheel of the vehicle, the model being parameterized at least using the sought payload mass and the wheel of the vehicle and the connection of the wheel to the roadway being assumed to be rigid.

    摘要: A method for estimating load weights for a work vehicle including a boom pivotably coupled to the chassis of the work vehicle at a boom joint and an implement pivotably coupled to the boom at an implement joint may include receiving an input indicative of a tilt force associated with a tilt cylinder configured to pivot the implement about the implement joint, and an input indicative of a lift force associated with a lift cylinder configured to pivot the boom about the boom joint. The method may further include determining a torque about the implement joint caused by the load based on the tilt force and determining a torque about the boom joint caused by the load based on the lift and tilt forces. Additionally, the method may include estimating a weight of the load based on the torques about the boom and implement joints.

    摘要: A method for estimating a level of stress that a mine truck is subjected to. The mine truck includes a frame; a container for carrying payload supported by the frame; and at least one sensor, the at least one sensor delivering signals being dependent on a force acting on the mine truck. The method includes for at least a first position of the frame, estimating a level of stress that said at least a first position is subjected to in response to a force acting on the mine truck, wherein said at least a first position is a position being different from the position of said at least one sensor; and estimating said level of stress utilising a model representation of the level of stress for said at least a first position wherein said model representation output said estimated level of stress utilising sensor signals from said at least one sensor as input signals.

    摘要: A system and a method for remote operation of a working machine comprising a tool is provided. The system includes an on-board controller configured to receive signals from a remote control station remotely controlling the operation of the working machine, and to obtain and send camera images to an off-board controller. The system also includes an off-board controller configured to receive the camera images from the on-board controller. The off-board controller identifies at least one visual tag in the camera images located on a load carrier, determines at least one distance between the tool and the load carrier based on the identified at least one visual tag, and provides, to the on-board controller and/or to an operator of the working machine, information based on the determined at least one distance between the tool and the load carrier in order to support the remote operation of the working machine.
