  • Publication number: 20240117593
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11808007
    Abstract: An example work machine control system may include cost factor logic to obtain a cost factor for a resource, cost variable logic to obtain a consumption signal from a consumption sensor indicative of consumption of the resource, fill measurement logic configured to receive a fill signal from a fill sensor, the fill signal indicative of a fill state of a container of an earth-moving work machine, fill target logic to determine a target fill level for the container based on the cost factor, the consumption signal and the fill signal and control logic to generate a machine control signal based on the target fill level.

  • Patent number: 11591776
    Abstract: An example work machine control system includes target fill level determination logic configured to determine a target fill level for a container of an earth-moving work machine, fill level measurement logic configured to receive a sensor signal from a sensor that detects contents of the container and generate a measurement metric indicative of a current fill level of the container based on the sensor signal, and control logic configured to generate a machine control signal based on the measurement metric and the target fill level.

  • Patent number: 10689830
    Abstract: A mobile work machine includes a frame and a ground engaging element movably supported by the frame and driven by an engine to drive movement of the mobile work machine. The mobile work machine also includes a container movably supported by the frame and an actuator configured to controllably drive movement of the container relative to the frame. The work machine also includes a control system configured to generate an actuator control signal, indicative of a commanded movement of the actuator, and provide the actuator control signal to the actuator to control the actuator to perform the commanded movement and an image sensor coupled to the mobile work machine, the image sensor being configured to capture an image of the container. The work machine also includes an angle determination system, communicatively coupled to the control system, configured to determine an angle of the container relative to the image sensor, based on the image of the container.
