Abstract: A computer-implemented process receives into memory, information designating a task to be performed on an industrial vehicle. The task has a metric associated therewith. The process also extracts vehicle operational data that is generated on the industrial vehicle in response to the industrial vehicle executing the task. The process further receives into memory, information identifying a set of target scores, each target score of the set of target scores defining a different measure of performance associated with the task. The process yet further computes a task evaluation score for each target score in the set of target scores based upon the corresponding measure of performance associated with the task, and creates an adjusted task evaluation indicative of industrial vehicle performance that takes into account an aggregation of the task evaluation score computed for each target score in the set of target scores.

Abstract: One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.
