Abstract:
Systems and methods can identify or determine one or more of the candidate route segments of a worksite to modify in order to improve battery usage and/or battery health for one or more vehicles upon future traversal of the one or more candidate route segments by the one or more vehicles. The one or more candidate route segments can be identified using terrain data, battery usage data, and/or battery health data. The one or more identified candidate route segments can be output on a display device. Selection of one or more identified candidate route segments can cause display of battery usage improvement information and/or battery health improvement information.
Abstract:
A head mountable display system includes a visual image system, a head mountable display device including a display screen, and a headset pose sensor system. A controller is configured to generate a camera image based upon the image data, generate an augmented reality overlay based upon the position and the orientation of the operator's head relative to the work site, determine an image to be rendered on the head mountable display based upon the camera image and the augmented reality overlay, and render the image on the display screen.
Abstract:
A system for locating a cable tethered from a mobile machine along a worksite is disclosed. The cable transmits electric power to the mobile machine from a power source. A fiber optic cable is disposed between the power source and the mobile machine along with the cable to detect a position of the electric cable along the worksite. The system includes a shape sensing device to communicate with the fiber optic cable and generate a position data set. A positioning device determines a position of one of the mobile machine and the power source. A controller communicates with the shape sensing device and the positioning device and determines an avoidance region based on the position data set and the position of one of the mobile machine and the power source. The avoidance region corresponds to a region for avoidance by equipment or personnel.
Abstract:
A mobile fluid delivery machine has a communication device configured to receive fluid delivery mission instructions that identify a sequence of path segments on a site and corresponding fluid delivery allocation information for the path segments, and a location device determining the location of the mobile fluid delivery machine. It also has a fluid delivery system including a display device and at least one processor that is configured to identify the fluid delivery allocation information for the path segment that corresponds to the location of the mobile machine on the site, and to determine, based on the fluid delivery allocation information for the path segment that corresponds to the location of the mobile machine on the site, a fluid delivery rate for the path segment. The processor is also configured to cause the display device to display an indication of the determined fluid delivery rate for the path segment.
Abstract:
A data management system is disclosed for use with a plurality of machines operating at a worksite. The data management system may have a plurality of onboard sensory devices, each configured to generate data regarding at least one of machine performance and worksite conditions. The data management system may also have a plurality of onboard locating devices, each configured to generate a machine location signal. The data management system may further have a plurality of onboard communication devices, and a worksite controller. The worksite controller may be configured to receive the data and the machine location signals from onboard the plurality of machines via the plurality of communication devices, trigger an event based on the data received from onboard at least a first of the plurality of machines, and selectively retrieve data from at least a second of the plurality of machines based on event triggering.
Abstract:
A positioning system and method for determining a position of a machine on a worksite are disclosed. The method may store a map of the worksite which includes one or more known objects in the worksite. The method may determine whether a locating device associated with the machine is accurately providing the position of the machine. The method may also include detecting one or more objects in the worksite. The method may further determine an unmatched object from among the detected objects that does not match the one or more known objects stored in the map. The method may also store the unmatched object in the map as a known object of the worksite.

Abstract:
A system is disclosed. The system includes a headgear to be worn by an operator of a machine. The headgear includes a tracking sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a direction of view of the operator, and an image capturing device configured to generate an image feed indicative of a field of view of the operator. The tracking sensor and the image capturing device are communicably coupled to a first controller. The first controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a current position of the implement of the machine. The first controller is also configured to overlay a first outline of the current position of the implement onto the field of view based on the direction of view of the operator. The first controller is further configured to display the first outline on the headgear.
