Abstract: A vehicle (2) comprising a working equipment (4) equipped with a movable loading arrangement (5) comprising a first attachment member (7), said vehicle further comprises a sensor system (6) configured to capture environmental data reflecting the environment around the vehicle and to determine, based on said data, image data (8) representing an area at least partly surrounding the vehicle (2). The sensor system (6) is configured to detect and track positions of the first attachment member (7) and a mating second attachment member (9) of the object (20) to load in said image data representation, and, the detected and tracked positions of the first and second attachment members (7, 9) are used to generate a first set of operation instructions for the loading arrangement (5) of the working equipment that decreases the distance between said first and second attachment members such that said attachment members (7, 9) come into position to engage to each other.

Abstract: A driver assistance system (2) for a vehicle (4) provided with a crane (6) for loading or unloading objects (8), the system comprises: a control unit (10) configured to generate a presentation signal (12) to be applied to a display unit (14), an object detecting device (16) configured to capture images of the vehicle and/or of the environment around the vehicle, and configured to generate an image data signal (18) comprising data representing captured images, and to apply said signal (18) to said control unit (10).

Abstract: A vehicle, equipment for loading a load carrying device onto the vehicle, and a sensor that determines a deviation angle between longitudinal axes of the vehicle and load carrying device. A control compares the deviation angle to a maximum deviation angle, and if less than maximum deviation angle a loading procedure is performed, which procedure includes engaging a loading tool with an attachment part at an end of the load carrying device; lifting the end by the loading tool while another end of the load carrying device is on the ground; adjusting the vehicle position to decrease the deviation angle while the working equipment lifts the end of the load carrying device; monitoring the deviation angle during adjustment, comparing the deviation angle to a threshold deviation angle, and moving the load carrying device onto the vehicle in response to the deviation angle being less than the threshold deviation angle.

Abstract: A vehicle (2) comprising at least one working unit (4) and a vehicle control system (6) comprising control units for controlling the vehicle to work in accordance with one or many working procedures. The vehicle is provided with a plurality of sensor units (12) configured to generate a sensor signal (14). Each control unit (8) is configured to determine control signals (18) to control its working unit (4), and the control unit designated to the vehicle is configured to determine control signals to control the vehicle, and also to determine control signals (18) for controlling at least one of the other working units (4) or the vehicle, and specifically to determine control signals (18) capable of controlling steps of a working procedure.
