Abstract:
A control apparatus for operationally engaging a vehicle having one or more manually operable control elements. Each of the one or more manually operable control elements has a mechanical operator-interface. The control apparatus has one or more control actuators each for mechanically engaging the mechanical operator-interface of a corresponding one of the one or more manually operable control elements, a signal receiver for receiving command signals from a remote control, and a control circuit module functionally coupled to the signal receiver and the one or more control actuators for controlling the operation of the one or more control actuators based on the received command signals, to control the operation of the vehicle.
Abstract:
Levelling device with a scraper blade (3) and a sliding shoe (5). The scraper blade is connected on the left-hand side and on the right-hand side to a hydraulic cylinder (9), which is connected to a control system arranged to ensure that the scraper blade remains fixed in the same horizontal or tilted orientation to the left or to the right with respect to the sliding shoe when performing an upward/downward movement, and also to ensure that the centre of the scraper blade remains fixed at the same height with respect to sliding shoe when tilting the scraper blade anticlockwise or clockwise.
Abstract:
A control may obtain first data related to a plurality of positions of an implement of a work machine during a first time period and may determine, based on the first data, a first noise value related to at least one velocity of the implement for the first time period. The control device may obtain second data related to a plurality of positions of the implement during a second time period and may determine, based on the second data, a second noise value related to at least one velocity of the implement for the second time period. The control device may determine, based on the first noise value and the second noise value, a start of motion of the implement. The control device may cause, based on determining the start of motion of the implement, the implement to be calibrated.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a system and method for compacting materials, and more specifically, a system and method for proactively varying compaction effort over a mat of materials located at a worksite area responsive to previously mapped data relating to the compaction makeup of that specific worksite area.
Abstract:
Activation of an automatic articulation control function in an articulated machine (10) is delayed until error conditions are cleared or a steering angle to alignment angle mismatch is corrected. A controller (102) monitors a selector (110) setting indicating a desire to activate the automatic articulation control function. The controller (102) also evaluates whether conditions such as low ground speed, loss of signal from needed sensors, or articulation misalignment are present. If so, the conditions are monitored and when corrected, the automatic articulation control function is activated. An indicator (204, 206) may be set to inform an operator that the automatic articulation control function is pending activation.
