Abstract: A job at a worksite can be performed by machines that deliver material from a loading area to various drop points at the worksite. A computing system can generate machine instructions that cause machines to arrive at the loading area at staggered arrival times that are separated by at least an arrival time separation threshold. The computing system can also adjust the arrival time separation threshold over time, for instance due to changes to durations of time for individual machines to perform operations within the loading area autonomously or based on operator input.

Abstract: A control system of an engine is provided. The control system includes an inlet sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of an engine inlet air temperature and an intake manifold sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of an engine intake manifold air temperature. The control system includes a control module communicably coupled to the inlet sensor and the intake manifold sensor. The control module is configured to determine the engine inlet air temperature and the engine intake manifold air temperature. The control module is configured to determine an initial de-rate value based on a predetermined relationship between the engine inlet air temperature and the engine intake manifold air temperature. The control module is configured to determine a pre-stored de-rate modifier corresponding to an engine speed. The control module is configured to determine a final de-rate value based on the initial de-rate value and the pre-stored de-rate modifier.

Abstract: A remote control station includes an operator interface for remotely controlling at least one work operation. The operator interface includes at least one control device and an indication system having a first symbol associated with a plurality of control patterns of the at least one control device. The operator interface further includes a display device configured to display a plurality of control patterns thereon. Each of the plurality of control patterns includes a second symbol substantially similar to the first symbol. The remote control station also includes a controller configured to store the plurality of control patterns associated with the at least one control device. The controller is configured to receive an input signal from the operator interface for activation of one of the plurality of control patterns and transmit an output signal for performing the at least one work operation.

Abstract: A method for remote operation of machines using a mobile device is disclosed. The mobile device may detect and display one or more machines. The mobile device may establish a wireless connection with a machine. The mobile device may retrieve and display machine related information including one or more machine parameters, one or more implements, and one or more controls of the machine. In addition, the mobile device may transmit input commands received from an operator via the controls to the machine. The machine may be configured to establish the wireless connection with the mobile device and broadcast machine related information to the mobile device. The machine may also execute the input commands received from the mobile device and perform one or more functions. The method includes steps performed by the mobile device and the machine for the remote operation respectively.

Abstract: A controller may configure the machine to operate in a plurality of modes including a manned control mode, a remote control mode, and an autonomous control mode. The controller may receive a request to cause the machine to perform an action; and determine a requested mode of operation of the machine associated with the request. The requested mode of operation may be one of the plurality of modes. The controller may selectively deny the request or enable the machine to perform the action based on a priority assigned to a current mode of operation of the machine and a priority assigned to the requested mode of operation.
