Abstract: A method of operating a vehicle feeding material to a road finishing machine. The vehicle includes a vehicle retarding system controllable to retard the vehicle, and processing circuitry coupled to the vehicle retarding system. The method includes determining, by the processing circuitry, a slope inclination of a downward sloping road surface to be paved by the road finishing machine; determining, by the processing circuitry, a deceleration level of the vehicle for operating the vehicle at the downward sloping road surface while obtaining a mechanical connection between the vehicle and the road finishing machine when the road finishing machine paves the downward sloping road surface; determining, by the processing circuitry, a retardation power level of the vehicle retarding system based on the slope inclination of the downward sloping road surface for obtaining the deceleration level; and controlling, by the processing circuitry, the vehicle retarding system to apply the retardation power level for obtaining the deceleration level.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a processor device of a computer system of a vehicle, image data from a camera proximate a distal end of a camera mount structure coupled to the vehicle, the image data including a captured image of a region adjacent a vertical side surface of the vehicle, the distal end of the camera mount structure protruding outwardly from the vertical side surface. The method further includes determining, by the processor device, a relative location of the distal end of the camera mount structure with respect to the vertical side surface of the vehicle within the captured image. The method further includes causing, by the processor device, a display device of the vehicle to display an image comprising the captured image and a first indication of the relative location of the distal end of the camera mount structure within the captured image.

Abstract: The vehicle comprises a shading device arranged inside the driving cab. The shading device comprises a main curtain and a first side curtain, which are separate from each other but carried by common shaft, rotatable relative to a chassis, and which are each kinematically linked to the shaft. The vehicle further comprises a camera monitoring system capturing images outside the driving cab, and a first display screen arranged inside the driving cab, positioned on first one of the two lateral sides of the windshield, and vertically aligned with first side curtain but offset from main curtain. The shading device is configured to change between a first configuration, in which the main curtain and the first side curtain are entirely disposed higher than top of the first display screen, and a second configuration, in which a portion of the main curtain is disposed lower than top of the first display screen.

Abstract: A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to handle wheel slip a vehicle is provided. The vehicle comprises a first axle. The first axle comprises at least two wheels. Each of the at least two wheels of the first axle is drivable by at least two hydraulic motors. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a slip condition of the vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to, based on the obtained slip condition, trigger an adjustment of pressure and/or flow to be supplied to at least one of the at least two hydraulic motors in the vehicle. Triggering the adjustment comprises triggering an adjustment of pressure and/or flow between at least two hydraulic motors, and/or triggering adjustment of pressure and/or flow supplied by a source.
