Abstract: A motive machine can be selectively operable in a plurality of functional modes. The motive machine can include a drive wheel a steering assembly (610), and a controller (604). The drive wheel can be rotatably secured to a body of the motive machine. The steering assembly (610) can be operable to steer the motive machine. The controller (604) can be in communication with a steering sensor (606), a steering motor, and a limit sensor (608, where the controller (604) can be configured to synchronize the steering motor to the steering sensor (606) as a function of a limit signal.

Abstract: Example control systems for automated power management of a machine are described herein. The features are described with reference to a hybrid powered sweeper-scrubber machine, but is not limited as such. The machine can include a main machine controller (MMC) operably coupled to an engine, and a power module operably coupled to the MMC by a controller area network (CAN) bus. A sub-system, including a sub-system having motors, can be operably coupled to the power module by the CAN bus. To provide automated power control, the power module can monitor a load of the sub-system, and using the monitored load of the sub-system, the power module can communicate sub-system load information to the MMC. The MMC can automatically adjust an engine speed based on the sub-system load information and the selected functional mode of the machine.
