  • Publication number: 20250104469
    Abstract: A monitoring system for a vehicle environment includes a biometric sensor that captures biometric information of a participant, a database that stores biometric data of a security event cohort, and control circuitry in communication with the biometric sensor. The control circuitry is configured to compare the biometric information to the biometric data to detect one or more matches, communicate an indication of a result of the comparison of the biometric information to the biometric data in one of a first privacy mode and a second privacy mode, and select between the first privacy mode and the second privacy mode based on the result.

  • Patent number: 12252849
    Abstract: Various control systems and methods for a working machine such as a compactor are disclosed. The control system can include any one or combination of components including a controller in communication with at least a steering system and a position sensor. The controller can be configured to: receive position data from the position sensor including during operator implemented steering of the compactor, save the position data to a memory, determine from the position data saved in the memory a possible intent by an operator to create a compaction area, generate a prompt on an operator interface to confirm an actual intent of the operator, and generate a compaction plan for autonomously steering the compactor to compact in the compaction area. The compaction plan can be based at least partially upon the operator implemented steering of the compactor. The controller can implement the compaction plan via autonomous steering.

  • Patent number: 12235107
    Abstract: The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for use of a vehicle to conduct a site survey. An example method can include receiving navigation guidance to move a vehicle along a pre-defined path on a property for executing a site survey operation of the property. The site survey operation can include a staking procedure performed by a robotic arm attached to the vehicle, an image capture procedure performed by use of a camera in the vehicle, and/or a subterranean scanning procedure for detecting a buried object. In an example implementation, the staking procedure can include inserting at a first location on the property, a stake having affixed thereon, a barcode label. A barcode scanner can be used to read the barcode label for obtaining information associated with an object present at the first location.

  • Publication number: 20250052038
    Abstract: A controller may monitor sensor data collected by one or more sensors of a machine while the machine is operating at a worksite. The controller may determine whether the sensor data is indicative of the machine operating in an unsafe condition at a location of the machine at the worksite. The controller may cause, based on a determination that the sensor data is indicative of the machine operating in the unsafe condition, at least one of: storing of the sensor data relating to the machine operating in the unsafe condition at least until the sensor data relating to the machine operating in the unsafe condition is offboarded from the machine, or transmission of the sensor data relating to the machine operating in the unsafe condition offboard the machine.
