  • Patent number: 11807093
    Abstract: A drive assembly for a vehicle may selectively couple a motor of the vehicle to a mobility assembly of the vehicle. The drive assembly may include a worm gear assembly having a worm engaged with a worm gear. The worm may be operably coupled to the motor of the vehicle, and the worm gear may be selectively coupled to a shaft of the mobility assembly. The drive assembly may be configured to move between a first configuration and a second configuration. In response to the drive assembly being in the first configuration, the worm gear assembly and the shaft of the mobility assembly may be operably coupled, and the worm gear assembly may be configured to selectively transfer power from the motor to the mobility assembly to provide mobility to the vehicle. In response to the drive assembly being in a second configuration, the worm gear assembly and the shaft of the mobility assembly may be decoupled, and the worm gear assembly may be prevented from transferring the power from the motor to the mobility assembly.

  • Publication number: 20220180282
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for worksite equipment path planning is provided. An example system may include an autonomous vehicle configured to operate a camera and position sensor to capture image data associated with a worksite. The system may also include a worksite analysis engine comprising processing circuitry configured to receive the image data of the worksite captured by the autonomous vehicle and generate a virtual layout of the worksite based on the image data. The worksite analysis engine may also receive equipment data and crew data, and generate a workflow based on the virtual layout, the equipment data, and the crew data. The workflow may include workflow assignments for each crew member at the worksite, each workflow assignment indicating a task, equipment to perform the task, and an equipment path for the task.
