  • Patent number: 12649372
    Abstract: Techniques control a utility vehicle. Such techniques involve setting a set of maximum motion limits imposed on the utility vehicle to a set of initial values. Such techniques further involve receiving a set of input signals from a set of sensors, the set of input signals indicating a set of current physical attributes of the utility vehicle. Such techniques further involve, based on the set of input signals, changing at least one maximum motion limit of the set of maximum motion limits from an initial value to an updated value which is different from the initial value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2023
    Date of Patent: June 9, 2026
    Assignee: Textron Innovations Inc.
    Inventors: Preston Sering Easley, Cole Elliott O'Brien, Gregory August Theodosakis, Jonathan Daniel Bowen, Christopher Boehm
  • Publication number: 20260057721
    Abstract: A technique is directed to managing vehicle access within a geographic region. The technique involves receiving a set of climate input signals that defines climate for the geographic region. The technique further involves, based on the set of climate input signals, performing a climate assessment operation that assesses whether to allow vehicle access within a set of geofenced areas overlying the geographic region. The technique further involves, based on a result of the climate assessment operation, providing an access control signal which controls vehicle access to the set of geofenced areas overlying the geographic region.

  • Publication number: 20240061129
    Abstract: Techniques are directed to operating a utility vehicle having global positioning system (GPS) circuitry and a geofencing data repository. Such techniques involve receiving, from the GPS circuitry, GPS output that indicates geolocation. The techniques further involve updating geofencing data within the geofencing data repository based on the GPS output that indicates geolocation. The techniques further involve, after updating the geofencing data, providing control to the utility vehicle based on the geofencing data within the geofencing data repository.
