Abstract: A construction machine is disclosed. The construction machine comprises a frame. The construction machine further comprises one or more ground-engaging tools coupled to the frame and configured to perform operations of the construction machine. The construction machine further comprises a plurality of propulsion devices configured to propel the construction machine on a work surface. The construction machine further comprises one or more non-combustible power sources configured to power at least one of the one or more ground-engaging tools and the plurality of propulsion devices. The one or more non-combustible power sources are positioned on the frame based on a desired distribution of weight across the construction machine.

Abstract: A method and system for generating an augmented machine view. The augmented machine view may include a dynamic virtual machine model representing an actual working machine, overlayed with camera footage from around the working machine. The dynamic virtual machine model may be synched in time with the camera footage. The system for generating the augmented machine view may include cameras mounted on the actual machine and machine sensors monitoring the position and movements of individual components of the machine.

Abstract: Systems and methods can sense, using a vibration sensor disposed relative to a rotor of a milling machine, vibration associated with a cutting operation of the rotor of the milling machine; and determine during the cutting operation whether the sensed vibration associated with the cutting operation of the rotor indicates now that the rotor is cutting a second material different from a first material being previously cut by the rotor during the cutting operation. The second material can be harder than the first material. Cutting operations of the milling machine can be controlled based on identification of the rotor cutting the second material. The cutting operations can include speed of the milling machine, cutting level and/or depth of the rotor, and/or rotational speed of the rotor.

Abstract: A cold planer, a method of programming a cleaning program, and a method of cleaning a cold planer are disclosed. The cold planer includes a drum housing, a milling drum, an intermediate stage conveyor, a final stage conveyor, a spray assembly having a plurality of spray banks, and an electronic controller configured to control each spray bank. The method of programming includes selecting one or more spray banks for activation, selecting an intensity for each activated spray bank, and selecting a mode. The method of cleaning includes selecting a cleaning program, activating one or more spray banks, and controlling a duration and a pressure and/or flowrate through each activated spray bank. The disclosed cold planer may be cleaned before and/or after a milling operation to improve operating efficiency and component life.
