  • Worksite management system
    Patent number: 12078493
    Abstract: A worksite management system for a worksite includes a sensor module associated with each of one or more machines working on the worksite. The sensor module generates a signal indicative of a location of a corresponding one of a machine from the one or more machines. An on-board controller associated with each of the one or more machines receives the signal corresponding to the location of the corresponding one of the machine on the worksite, and looks up the location of the corresponding one of the machine in at least one of a pre-generated or learned terrain map of a network of haul routes. The on-board controller identifies at least one condition of the haul route at the looked-up location, and then generates an alert for an operator to perform one or more recommended actions with respect to an operating parameter of the corresponding one of the machine.

  • Braking system
    Patent number: 9625036
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle having a braking system and a method of engaging the braking system. The braking system engages a brake mechanism as a waiting brake. The vehicle has a dual function device which is configured such that when the dual function device is activated when the vehicle transmission system is in a drive mode, the transmission system is maintained in that drive mode, and when the dual function device is activated when the transmission system is in the neutral mode, the brake mechanism is engaged.
