    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a control method for controlling the operation of a lift assembly of a work vehicle, wherein the lift assembly includes an implement and at least one loader arm coupled to the implement. As such, the method may generally include transmitting at least one first command signal in order to simultaneously move the loader arm and the implement towards a return position. The first command signal(s) are associated with moving the loader arms at a movement velocity. The method also includes monitoring a height of the implement relative to a driving surface of the work vehicle during simultaneous movement of the loader arm and the implement. As such, the method may also include reducing the movement velocity of the loader arm when the height is below a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A hauling machine is disclosed. The hauling machine may include a dump body and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) disposed proximate to the dump body. The IMU may be configured to measure an impact of a payload material on the dump body during a first load cycle, and generate impact data based on the impact of the payload material. The hauling machine may also include a controller in operative communication with the IMU. The controller may be configured to: receive the impact data from the IMU, estimate a center of gravity, a net load, and an amplitude of the impact of the payload material based on the impact data, and determine a desired dumping point of the payload material into the dump body for a second load cycle based on the center of gravity, the net load, and the amplitude of the impact.

    摘要: A rollback control system and method are disclosed for a loader having a bucket movable between first and second positions by one or more hydraulic cylinders of a hydraulic circuit. The rollback control system includes a source of vehicle conditions data that indicates one or more observable conditions associated with the work vehicle. The rollback control system includes at least one controller that receives and processes the vehicle conditions data to determine a position of the bucket relative to a material. The at least one controller outputs one or more control signals to direct flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinders to move the bucket to the second position based on the determined position of the bucket.
