Abstract: An excavation system is disclosed for use with an excavation machine having a work tool and with an IPCC. The excavation system may have a location device configured to generate a first signal indicative of a location of the excavation machine, a display, and at least one controller in communication with the location device and the display. The controller may be configured to receive a second signal indicative of a location of the IPCC, and to cause representations of the excavation machine and the IPCC to be simultaneously shown on the display based on the first and second signals. The at least one controller may also be configured to determine a swing radius of the work tool, and to selectively cause an indication of alignment between the IPCC and the swing radius to be shown on the display based on the first signal, the second signal, and the swing radius.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a drive unit configured to generate a drive torque in driving relationship to wheels of the vehicle, and a gas pedal constructed in the form of an active accelerator pedal which is adjustable over a pedal travel. A control device activates the drive unit in response to a desired torque given by a driver through actuation of the accelerator pedal. Operatively connected to the control device is an actuator which applies a resistance force upon the accelerator pedal, thereby generating a pressure point for the accelerator pedal, with the resistance force increasing in a locally limited pedal travel interval up to a maximum force which can be overridden by the driver. An evaluation unit of the control unit generates a deactivation signal within the pedal travel interval, when the accelerator pedal reaches a predefined limit hold time.

Abstract: A hauling machine is disclosed. The hauling machine may include a dump body and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) disposed proximate to the dump body. The IMU may be configured to measure an impact of a payload material on the dump body during a first load cycle, and generate impact data based on the impact of the payload material. The hauling machine may also include a controller in operative communication with the IMU. The controller may be configured to: receive the impact data from the IMU, estimate a center of gravity, a net load, and an amplitude of the impact of the payload material based on the impact data, and determine a desired dumping point of the payload material into the dump body for a second load cycle based on the center of gravity, the net load, and the amplitude of the impact.

Abstract: A method and device for transferring a vehicle travelling with lateral guidance support into a driving state with a reduced risk of the consequences of a collision in the event of the driver experiencing an emergency, wherein the speed of the vehicle is higher than a predefined limiting speed. The method detects a hands-off situation of the driver and outputs a hands-off warning in a hands-off phase and carries out a warning escalation in an escalation phase if there is no reaction to the hands-off warning, wherein initiation of the escalation phase is prevented if a predefined blocking condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A tractor control system, which controls an operating condition of an implement attached to the tractor. The control system includes a sensing means providing a force signal which indicates the pull force necessary to pull an implement in a desired position; a control which receives the force signal; and means for measuring at least one parameter associated with the tractor mode and/or the implement mode and the implement position is adjusted to a new position when the force signal varies. The control system includes pre-determined values associated with certain tractor and/or implement modes. A measured parameter is compared with a pre-determined parameter value and if the measured parameter would result in an undesired movement of the implement, the force signal is deactivated, or the response to the force signal is deactivated to prevent undesired movement of the attachment.

Abstract: A control method for a work machine, includes: detecting a posture of a working unit driven by a hydraulic cylinder in a movable range; determining whether the working unit at a stop position of the movable range has started moving based on an operation of the working unit; setting a deceleration section including an end position of the movable range and a deceleration ratio of the working unit in the deceleration section, based on the posture of the working unit in a stopped state at the stop position, and a threshold determined in advance; and outputting a command signal to a control valve, which is capable of adjusting an amount of a working oil supplied to the hydraulic cylinder, such that the working unit moves from the stop position to the end position based on the deceleration section and the deceleration ratio.
