Abstract: A system for detecting a load location and a dump location at a worksite is provided. The system includes a controller coupled to a position detection module and a speed detection module. The controller receives a position signal and a speed signal associated with the machine. The controller identities a load location based on a relative distance between the machine and a loading tool and the speed of the machine. The controller monitors a velocity of the machine as the machine moves away from the identified load location, gathers data related to a plurality of stops made by the machine, and builds a heuristic model. The controller selects one stop from the plurality of stops as a dump location based on a distance between the respective dump location and the load location, a duration of stopping of the machine, and a confidence score associated with the respective dump location.

Abstract: A haul-route management system is provided. The system includes a first sensor module configured to generate a signal indicative of a current position of a machine at the worksite. The system also includes a route control module configured to receive the signal indicative of the current position of the machine. The route control module receives a signal indicative of a predetermined path associated with the machine. The route control module segments a current path of the machine based on predetermined boundaries. Further, the route control module compares the segmented current path with corresponding data points on the predetermined path. The route control module determines if a deviation from the predetermined path is present in at least one portion of the current path based on the comparison. The route control module provides a notification of the deviation if the deviation lies outside of a predetermined range.

Abstract: A method and system for providing remote vision to a remote operator with respect to one or more machines includes a remote vision system and a wireless transmitter/receiver for communicating with each of the one or more machines. One or more video feeds are available from each machine upon demand. A controller console linked to the remote vision system receives machine data from each of the one or more machines and selects one or more video feeds for display based on the received machine data. The controller console also specifies a resolution for each selected video feed based on the received machine data, such that the transmission of the selected video feeds does not exceed the available bandwidth. The controller console may modify the video selection or resolution specification during operation of the one or more machines based on additional received machine data.
