Abstract: The invention relates to method of operating a fleet of autonomous vehicles at a work site having a loading area at which a loading device is provided for loading material onto said autonomous vehicles. The method includes controlling a first vehicle to drive in a first driving mode until it reaches a start position of the loading area, deactivating the first driving mode by controlling the first vehicle to be positioned in the loading area in a second driving mode, controlling a second vehicle to come into contact with and to push the first vehicle along the loading area and past the loading device for loading material onto the first vehicle as the first vehicle passes by the loading device, and reactivating the first driving mode of the first vehicle when the second vehicle has pushed the first vehicle to an end position of the loading area.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for a working machine. A processor device of a computer system is configured to receive movement data from sensors that measure movements of the working machine and movements of an attachment tools. Based on the received movement data, the processor device determines movement patterns for the working machine and the attachment tool. The movement patterns are compared and, upon determination by the processor device that the movement pattern of the attachment tool matches the movement pattern of the working machine, the processor device determines that the attachment tool is attached to an arm or a boom of the working machine.

Abstract: Provided are methods for controlling loading/unloading of a material (from a load-delivering unit to a load-receiving unit, wherein at least one of the load-delivering unit and the load-receiving unit is a working machine vehicle configured to transport a load of material from a first location to a second location, and wherein at least the load-delivering unit is provided with a control unit configured to control operation of the load-delivering unit. Methods include receiving a first signal indicative of the material associated with the load-delivering unit; receiving a second signal indicative of the material intended to be received by the load-receiving unit; and comparing material information related to the first signal with material information related to the second signal.
