  • Publication number: 20220358032
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the automatic provision of an Advice for test processes, wherein the Advice is determined by at least one Advice-generator and the Advice-generator for tests and/or simulations is selected manually and/or automatically, wherein the Advice-generator monitors at least two test runs, so that at least one event is detected in the test runs and at least one Advice is derived, wherein the Advice-generator is executed automatically by an Advice-generator mechanism during test runs and an Advice determined by the Advice-generator is provided to the test system and/or a user.

  • Publication number: 20220358024
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the evaluation of simulations and/or test cases in scenario-based testing and/or homologation of at least partially autonomous driving functions to be tested by key performance indicators (KPI), wherein KPIs are mapped by KPI plug-ins and KPI plug-ins are selected dynamically and reusably for simulations and/or test cases and wherein at least one KPI plug-in is selected by a KPI plug-in mechanism for purposes of simulation and/or test definition and is automatically executed in the execution by the KPI plug-in mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10583863
    Abstract: A cab for an agricultural working vehicle has a cab base and a cab roof, between which a windshield and side windows are situated in a frame structure, and a driver's seat situated on the cab base. There is at least one air treatment device for cooling and heating an inlet air flow which is supplied to the cab through an intake duct. The air treatment device has at least one first air distribution duct having at least one first air outlet opening, and at least one second air distribution duct having at least one second air outlet opening. The first air outlet opening outputs a first air flow substantially along the windshield and the second air outlet opening outputs a second air flow directed in the direction of the driver's seat. The first air flow has a higher temperature than the second air flow.

  • Publication number: 20090272597
    Abstract: A self-propelled agricultural machine comprises a travel drive, a control element (46), able to be moved by the driver, for controlling the speed of travel of the machine, and at least one work-performing unit (2, 3, 5-13, 24, 27, 28) which, while the machine is travelling, can assume an active state and an inactive state as selected by the driver. The machine is set up to decide whether a movement of the control element (36) which is sensed is a regular control movement or an emergency stop movement, and to change the work-performing unit (2, 3, 5-13, 24, 27, 28) to the inactive state if it is decided that the movement sensed is an emergency stop movement.

  • Patent number: 7431113
    Abstract: The agricultural machine has at least one energy producer (19); at least one energy storage device; at least one working unit (2, 4, 7, 8, 15, 16, 17) driven by the at least one energy producer (19) and at least one electric drive unit (20) associated with the at least one energy producer (19). The at least one electric drive unit (20) controls the energy supply of the at least one working unit (2, 4, 7, 8, 15, 16, 17) according to energy requirements of the at least one working unit (2, 4, 7, 8, 15, 16, 17) since it supplies energy to or takes it from the at least one energy storage device (29) as needed.

  • Patent number: 6817167
    Abstract: A self-propelled forage harvester having a feed shaft through which the chopped material is delivered to a pair of conditioning rollers is disclosed. The width of the feed shaft converges on the way from the bladed drum to the pair of conditioning rollers. To direct the material out of the side regions towards the center evenly over the remaining width, there are provided drive-energy-free crop guide elements and are either in the form of plowshare-like guide elements or a contoured bottom. The chopped material mat in a crop discharge region is consistently thick.
