摘要： Machines can operate based on electricity received from a charging rail system installed along a route at a worksite. Sensors on the machines capture image data indicating locations and/or orientations of components of the charging rail system. Machine controllers of the machine, and/or a worksite controller, can monitor the integrity of the charging rail system by detecting possible faults if the locations and/or orientations of one or more components vary by more than a threshold amount from target locations and/or orientations. The machine controllers and/or the worksite controller can also initiate one or more response actions when a possible fault in the charging rail system is detected.

摘要： A service vehicle can have a service vehicle battery that can provide energy to, and/or receive energy from, a separate machine that is normally configured to operate based on energy provided by a battery of the machine. If a machine becomes unable to operate using the battery of the machine, the service vehicle can travel to the machine and use an energy transfer arm to transfer energy to the machine. In some situations, the service vehicle and the machine can travel together in a convoy formation, for instance to a maintenance station, while the service vehicle provides the machine with energy for driving operations of the machine.

摘要： A control system for a battery electric machine (BEM) predicts the energy requirement of the BEM to complete one or more travel route segments along a path traversed by the BEM. The control system calculates the actual energy consumption of the BEM in completing the one or more travel route segments, compares the actual energy consumption with the predicted energy requirement, and updates the predicted energy requirement. The control system also maps the updated energy requirements for BEM’s to travel route segments to create a database of travel route segments mapped to energy requirements for particular BEM’s traveling over those segments. The control system may change the travel route segments for the BEM, tasks to be performed by the BEM, or repair or maintenance tasks to be performed on one or more travel route segments for the BEM based on a comparison of the predicted energy requirements with the actual energy consumption for the BEM traveling over the particular travel route segment.

摘要： A control system is programmed for monitoring the health and charge of batteries used to power a battery electric machine (BEM) or other heavy equipment and determining when maintenance, service, or replacement should be performed for the batteries as a function of data related to travel route segments over which the BEM or other heavy equipment is operated. The control system is programmed to receive historical information mapping the performance and energy consumption of a BEM or other heavy equipment, such as battery state-of-charge, power usage, battery state-of-health, and number of charge cycles for a battery supplying power to the BEM or other heavy equipment operating over a travel route segment, and instruct an operator to replace or perform maintenance on the batteries if the difference between present and historical performance exceeds a threshold level.

摘要： A system can assign a machine to dispense material at designated areas along a route at a worksite. For example, the machine can be an electric water truck on a mine site, and the electric water truck can be assigned to spray water at areas along a route to control dust on the mine site. The system can verify that the machine is carrying enough material to dispense along the assigned route. The system can also verify that the battery of the machine is charged to a level sufficient to power travel of the machine through the assigned route and to power operations to dispense the material, based at least in part on a changing amount and/or weight of the material as the machine progresses along the route.
