Abstract: An embodiment includes a method of automated environment management using an analog environment device. The method involves generating a virtual device that represents the analog environment device by mapping a template to a digital form configured to receive manual input related to the device's attributes. Data received from the digital form is interpreted as coming from the virtual device and is normalized into a common format for system management. Based on the normalized data, the system determines if a defined condition exists in the environment related to the analog device or the environment itself. If such a condition is detected, the system triggers an automated action to address it.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a coast control system, or dead-man brake inhibitor, is associated with a tiller arm that is used for steering a vehicle. A spring acts upon the tiller arm when an operator releases a control handle attached to the tiller arm to move the tiller arm to a braking position which causes an electronically or mechanically actuated brake to be applied. Before releasing the control handle, the operator may actuate the coast control system to inhibit movement of the tiller arm towards the braking position when the control handle is released. The operator may vertically reposition the tiller arm while the coast control system remains actuated by overcoming the inhibiting force applied by the coast control system when the tiller arm is moved toward the braking position and by overcoming the spring acting on the tiller arm when the tiller arm is moved away from the braking position.
