Abstract: A surveying device is operated to measure a surface profile of a terrain of a worksite and generate surface profile data indicative of the surface profile. A work machine is operated to move along a route over the terrain in accordance with an operating parameter and generates machine operational data indicative of the operating parameter. A navigation system determines the route and generates route data. A processing unit processes the route data, machine operational data and surface profile data to generate monitored operating condition data indicative of a monitored operating condition of the machine.

Abstract: A dumping-body for use a haulage vehicle. The dumping body is pivotally mounted to a carrier on the vehicle. An ejecting unit moves an ejector in the dump body to unload a payload. A pivoting unit on the vehicle pivots the dump body relative to the carrier between a stowage end position and an unloading end position. The pivoting unit pivots the dump body relative to the carrier by a maximum pivot angle of not more than 40° to positioning the dump body from a stowage end position into an unloading end position.

Abstract: A surveying device is operated to measure a surface profile of a terrain of a worksite and generate surface profile data. Machine operational data is stored and associated with at least one gradient characteristic. A processing unit is operated to process the surface profile data to identify an area of the terrain and a gradient characteristic of the area and retrieve machine operational data associated with the gradient characteristic from the database and associate the machine operational data with the area. The work machine is operated in the area based upon the machine operational data.
