Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a locking control method for a pivot axle of a wheeled working machine including: determining, using a multibody simulation model, a current posture and motion state of the working machine and static and dynamic forces acting on the working machine; determining a relevant tipping line based on a current locking status of a pivot axle of the working machine; calculating torques acting on the working machine based on the information on current posture, motion state, static and dynamic forces; determining a control command for a pivot axle locking mechanism of the working machine based on the calculated torques and the tipping line; and providing the control command to a pivot axle locking mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic system for a work machine. The system comprising: a main hydraulic machine connected to an output shaft of an engine of the work machine for providing power to working hydraulics of the work machine; a main pressure line connecting the main hydraulic machine to the working hydraulics; a support hydraulic machine connected to the output shaft; a hydraulic accumulator; a discharge valve connected between the accumulator and an input side of the support hydraulic machine; a charge valve connected between an output side of the support hydraulic machine and the hydraulic accumulator to selectively allow a flow from the support hydraulic machine to the hydraulic accumulator; a flow support valve connected between the output side of the support hydraulic machine and the main pressure line to selectively allow a flow from the support hydraulic machine to the main pressure line; and a hydraulic tank connected to the input side of the support hydraulic machine.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to an operator assist system for a working machine having a boom and an arm and with a freely suspended tool comprising at least one sensor arrangeable at the freely suspended tool or at the arm, which is able to measure angle, velocity and/or acceleration, fast reacting drives for boom and arm and as swing drive, and a control unit, which is able to calculate a needed counter or amplifier movement based on information on angle, velocity and/or acceleration received from the at least one sensor and control the fast reacting drives to carry out the counter or amplifier movement accordingly or to initiate a deceleration or acceleration of the working machine according to the calculated needed counter movement, if the working machine is moving along.
