Abstract: Radio frequency identification tags are spaced apart from one another in or around a work area for the vehicle. Each of the tags has a corresponding unique identifier. A path planning module establishes a path comprising a path segment between at least two of the radio frequency identification tags. The path segment comprises at least one of a distance between the tags, an angular heading between the tags, and unique identifiers corresponding to the tags. A data processor determines an estimated position of the vehicle based on at least one of odometer data and accelerometer data. A vehicle controller navigates between at least two of the radio frequency identification tags based on the estimated position, the distance and the angular heading. A reader reads the tag identifiers of each tag to track the progress of the vehicle to facilitate execution of or retrieval of any next path segment of the vehicle along the established path.
Abstract translation: 射频识别标签在车辆的工作区域内或周围彼此间隔开。 每个标签都有相应的唯一标识符。 路径规划模块建立包括至少两个射频识别标签之间的路径段的路径。 路径段包括标签之间的距离,标签之间的角度标题和对应于标签的唯一标识符中的至少一个。 数据处理器基于里程表数据和加速度计数据中的至少一个确定车辆的估计位置。 车辆控制器基于估计的位置,距离和角度航向在至少两个射频识别标签之间导航。 读取器读取每个标签的标签标识符以跟踪车辆的进度,以便于沿着建立的路径执行或检索车辆的任何下一个路段。

Abstract: A capacity estimator determines a total maximum allowable power storage capacity for a work vehicle. A timer times the operating time of the work vehicle in an electrically propelled mode. A load manager, a driver or both decrease the available power to at least one of a drive motor of the work vehicle and an ancillary load over the operating time to conserve the available power stored for operating at least one critical work vehicle.

Abstract: A differential steering assist system is provided for an off road utility vehicle with a pair of steerable front wheels and at least one pair of driven left and right rear wheels. The system uses a steering position sensor and wheel speed sensors that sense the wheel speed of the driven left and right rear wheels. An electronic control unit provides speed reducing commands to the left or right rear wheels based on the sensed steering position and sensed wheel speed.
