    摘要: A system includes a work implement sensor attached to a work implement to detect work implement roll and pitch angles, and a controller. The controller acquires an actual frame length, a position of the first body connecting portion, and the roll and pitch angles. The controller calculates an assumed position of the first frame connecting portion when the yaw angle is assumed to be a predetermined angle based on the roll and pitch angles in the first posture, an assumed frame length indicating a distance between the assumed position of the first frame connecting portion and the first body connecting portion, the yaw angle of the work implement in the first posture based on a difference between the actual and assumed frame lengths, and a position of the predetermined portion of the work implement based on the roll, pitch and yaw angles of the work implement in the first posture.

    摘要: A work machine is provided with grade control capability using an imaging system, e.g., rather than GPS. The work machine includes at least one work implement for working at least part of a terrain, and first sensors (e.g., cylinder sensors) generate signals corresponding to positions of the work implement. Second sensors (e.g., stereo cameras) generate signals corresponding to positions of representative features of the terrain (e.g., curbs) in a field of view. A controller receives the signals and determines in a local reference system independent of a global reference system: first position information corresponding to the work implement; and second position information corresponding to the representative features. According to a selected control mode, target parameters for the work implement are determined based on the second position information corresponding to the representative features, and output signals are generated corresponding to a difference between the first position information and the target parameters.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for work cycle tracking for a self-propelled work vehicle having an integrated or drawn/pushed implement, for example comprising a scraper, and a loading container for receiving material worked thereby. First sensors generate data corresponding to operating parameters of the work vehicle, and second sensors generate data corresponding to operating parameters of the implement. Data storage includes, for each of various work states associated with the work cycle, correlations between operating parameters, of the work vehicle and/or implement, and a start or completion of the respective work state. A controller determines a current work state of the various work states associated with the work cycle based on current input data from the first and second sets of sensors, with respect to the stored correlations, and generates one or more output signals based on the determined work state.

    摘要: A system controls a work machine including a work implement. The system includes a sensor and a controller. The controller acquires current position data of the work machine, acquires actual topography data, acquire default target displacement data that defines a target displacement according to a movement amount of the work machine, acquires a work interval indicative of a distance between a previous start position of work by the work machine and a current start position behind the previous start position, generates modified data with the default target displacement data modified according to the work interval, refers to the modified data to determine the target displacement according to the movement amount of the work machine from the current start position, determines topography data with the actual topography data vertically displaced downward by the target displacement as a target profile, and moves the work implement according to the target profile.

    摘要: An operation control method for controlling operation of a plurality of construction machines that perform excavation while moving is described. Because a moving speed of a second construction machine at a time of excavation and an excavation time of the second construction machine are set based on a moving speed of a first construction machine at a time of excavation and an excavation time of the first construction machine, it is possible to achieve efficient excavation work with good usability.

    摘要: A work vehicle includes a work implement. A control system for the work vehicle includes an operating device and a controller. The operating device outputs an operation signal indicative of an operation by an operator. The controller communicates with the operating device and controls the work implement. The controller determines a first target design topography. The controller generates a command signal to operate a work implement in accordance with the first target design topography. The controller obtains a displacement amount of the work implement with respect to the first target design topography upon receiving the operation signal indicative of the operation of the work implement during work in accordance with the first target design topography. The controller determines a second target design topography based on the displacement amount. The controller generates a command signal to operate the work implement in accordance with the second target design topography.

    摘要: A coordinated multi-vehicle grade control system and method includes receiving, by a first controller onboard a first work vehicle, a first grade control signal. The method and system also include receiving, by a second controller onboard a second work vehicle, a second grade control signal. Additionally, the method and system include orienting, by a first actuator of the first work vehicle, the first grading implement with respect to the first work vehicle according to the first grade control signal. Furthermore, the method and system include orienting, by a second actuator of the second work vehicle, the second grading implement with respect to the second work vehicle according to the second grade control signal. The second grade control signal is based, at least in part, on the first grade control signal to coordinate the orientation of the first grading implement with respect to the second grading implement along the grading pass.
