A surroundings monitoring system for a work machine includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to detect an obstacle present around the work machine and control an output apparatus mounted on the work machine. The processor is configured to display an output image on a display apparatus. The output image includes an image part generated using a captured image of an image capturing apparatus attached to the work machine and an icon of the work machine. The processor is configured to highlight, among image parts around the icon, an image part corresponding to a direction in which or a position at which the detected obstacle is present.

According to one example, a working machine includes a projection arrangement to generate a hologram, wherein the hologram presents a virtual operating element or a virtual display and a movement/position detection arrangement to detect a movement or a position of an operator. The working machine of the example also includes a control unit to control the operation of the working machine based on the detected movement or position of an operator and based on the basis of the hologram generated by the projection arrangement, wherein the projection arrangement is to generate the hologram at different positions or with different content in association with different operating positions to be assumed by an operator on an operator platform or the movement/position detection arrangement is designed to detect the movement or the position of an operator in different operating positions on the operator platform.

The hydraulic excavator includes a vehicle body, a work implement , a display section, a detection section , and a display control section. The vehicle body includes a driver’s seat . The work implement is attached to the vehicle body and operates with respect to the vehicle body. The display section is provided on the work implement. The detection section detects an object in a region on a side opposite to the driver’s seat with respect to the work implement around the vehicle body. The display control section displays the information detected by the detection section on the display section.

An information communications system for a construction machine includes a hardware processor. The hardware process is configured to receive construction information from a contractor-side device and receive weather information from a weather server. The hardware processor is configured to generate advisory information based on the received construction information and the received weather information.

A construction machine includes a travel actuator, an attachment actuator, a storage, an information obtaining device, and a hardware processor configured to perform braking control of at least one of the travel actuator and the attachment actuator in response to determining that a dangerous situation is going to occur based on information obtained by the information obtaining device and information stored in a database in the storage.

A method for improving machine performance based on machine application identification can include training an application identification model. The method can also include receiving one or more images from a camera positioned on a machine performing an application, and feeding each of the one or more images into the trained application identification model. The trained application identification model provides a predicted application corresponding to the application being performed by the machine. The model also provides a probability that the predicted application corresponds to the application being performed by the machine. Application optimization parameters, based on the predicted application, are retrieved and distributed to the machine when the probability is greater than a selected confidence threshold.

A method for operating an electric drivetrain of a working machine is provided wherein the drivetrain comprises a work drive with an electric work motor and a travel drive with an electric travel motor and vehicle wheels, wherein the working machine experiences a speed deceleration from the outside that may result in a braking force acting on the vehicle wheels lower than a driving force acting on the vehicle wheels due to a moment of inertia of the travel motor. The method includes supplying the travel motor with a power in a direction opposite to an operating direction of the travel motor in order to reduce a rotational speed of the travel motor, if it is detected in advance using a situation detection that the braking force acting on the vehicle wheels as a result of the speed deceleration is lower than the driving force acting on the vehicle wheels.
