Abstract: Described herein is a method of determining a mine worksite's terrain. The method may include determining positions of a surface of the worksite based on measurements relating to the worksite's terrain. At least some of the measurements may be received from a plurality of mobile machines on the worksite. The method may include transmitting a first subset of the determined positions to a first mobile machine on the worksite. A corresponding computing system and computer-readable medium for executing the method are also described.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of determining a terrain of a mine worksite. The method may include determining positions of a surface of the worksite from measurements relating to the worksite's terrain. The method may also include determining errors corresponding to the determined positions. The method may also include generating a terrain model that maps the positions and the errors corresponding the positions.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for monitoring work cycles on a worksite including a truck and a loading machine. The system includes a communications interface, memory storing instructions, and a processing unit configured to execute the instructions. The processing unit receives, via the communications interface, location information and acceleration information for the truck and location information for the loading machine. The processing unit determines a distance between the truck and the loading machine based on the location information. The processing unit determines a phase of a work cycle of the truck based on the determined distance between the truck and the loading machine and on the acceleration information for the truck.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer-implemented method for estimating a true fuel level of a vehicle. The method comprises: accessing an estimate as to a current state of the vehicle, the current state of the vehicle comprising a current fuel level state; predicting the state of the vehicle at a future time based on the current state of the vehicle; accessing a measured state of the vehicle based on sensor data; estimating a true state of the vehicle based on the predicted state of the vehicle and the measured state of the vehicle, the true state of the vehicle comprising an estimate as to the true fuel level of the vehicle; and outputting the estimated true fuel level of the vehicle.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for estimating an actual operational state of a machine of interest at a point in time is described. The method comprises operating a computer processing unit to receive a plurality of messages, each message comprising data relating to the machine of interest as it performs the worksite operation. The plurality of messages comprises data from at least two separate sources. The data is processed using a statistical process to generate an estimated actual operational state of the machine of interest at the point in time.

Abstract: An integrated reporting system for a dimensional data associated with a worksite management system is provided. The integrated reporting system includes an extraction and transformation module configured to connect to a plurality of sources. The extraction and transformation module is configured to identify a source data from each of the plurality of sources. The extraction and transformation module is also configured to perform a transformation on the source data to convert the source data into a target data based on the identification. The target data includes a derived result. The extraction and transformation module is further configured to store the derived result into a target database. The integrated reporting system includes a reporting module operatively connected to the target database, wherein the reporting module is configured to generate reports based on the derived result.

Abstract: A method of tracking a fleet of machines operating at a common worksite is disclosed. The method may include receiving at a central controller an unacknowledged message from communicating devices onboard the fleet of machines, the unacknowledged message including a current location of each of the fleet of machines determined by locating devices onboard the fleet of machines. The method may also include updating a location listing of the fleet of machines with the current location, and repetitively multicasting the location listing to the communicating devices.

Abstract: A tracking system is disclosed for use with a fleet of machines operating at a common worksite. The tracking system may have a locating device located onboard each machine of the fleet of machine that is configured to determine a current location of an associated machine of the fleet of machines, and a communicating device located onboard each machine in communication with the locating device. The tracking system may also have a central controller located offboard the fleet of machines in communication with each communicating device. The central controller may be configured to receive an unacknowledged message from each communicating device relaying the current location of the associated machine. The central controller may also be configured to update a location listing of the fleet of machines with the current location, and to repetitively multicast the location listing to the communicating devices of the fleet of machines.
