Vehicles and methods of operating vehicles are disclosed herein. A vehicle includes a main frame, a work implement, and a control system. The work implement is supported by the main frame and configured to carry a payload in use of the vehicle. The control system is supported by the main frame and configured to control operation of the vehicle. The control system includes a payload measurement system configured to provide payload input indicative of a variable payload carried by the work implement in use of the vehicle and a controller coupled to the payload measurement system.

A work machine capable of assisting in an operator's operation to allow a work tool move along a design surface indicating a target shape of an object to be worked irrespectively of an angle of the design surface and a posture of a work implement is provided. A controller determines an excavation actuator in charge of an excavation action and determines an alignment actuator in charge of an alignment action for a work tool out of a plurality of actuators on the basis of the design surface set by a work execution target setting device and the posture of the work implement measured by a work implement posture/position measurement device, determines a target velocity of the excavation actuator on the basis of operation signals outputted from an operation device, and limits a target velocity of the alignment actuator in a direction in which the work tool approaches the design surface.

A system may include a first transportation device, a controller, and an inclination control system. The controller can control a construction machine including the first transportation device, which can move the construction machine over an operating surface. The inclination control system includes first and second slope sensors. The first slope sensor is coupled to the first transportation device and the second slope sensor is coupled to the construction machine. The controller controls the construction machine based on inclination information received from the inclination control system.

A program update system for a working machine, includes a machine body, a working device to be used for work, the working device being provided to the machine body, a storage device to store an update program for the machine body or the working device, and an update controller to control the update program. The update controller executes the update program for the working device based on a state of the machine body or the working device.

To provide a communication system for a working machine capable of easily updating setting information of a working device connected to the machine body.

A communication system for a working machine includes: a machine body; a working device provided on the machine body to perform work; a communicator device to receive setting information relating to setting of the machine body or the working device; and a control device, the communication system being configured to transmit the setting information from a server to the working machine. The server determines a transmitting operation to the working machine based on a response result of the communicator device when the server communicates with the communicator device to transmit the setting information, and the communicator device determines an accepting operation for the setting information depending on a status of the working machine.

A working machine includes a work attachment connection arrangement configured to operationally connect to the working machine a work attachment provided with a work tool; and a control system configured to control the operation of the working machine and to control the operation of the work attachment. The working machine further includes: at least a first electric motor; a first rechargeable battery; an electric power circuit connecting the first electric motor and the first rechargeable battery, wherein the work attachment connection arrangement includes a first electrical connector, wherein the first electric connector is configured to be connected to a corresponding electrical connector connected to an auxiliary rechargeable battery

An automatic vehicle speed control system for use in a vehicle having an implement is disclosed. The automatic vehicle speed control system includes: a controller configured to: set a speed of the vehicle to a creep setting; monitor one or more operating conditions of the implement; and automatically adjust the speed of the vehicle based on the one or more operating conditions of the implement.

A work machine includes an operation intention determining section that determines whether or not an operator has an intention of operating an operation member based on a state change of the operation member, a current supply section that supplies a current to a solenoid valve device based on an operation of the operation member, and a current control section that permits supply of a standby current from the current supply section to the solenoid valve device when it has been determined by an operation position determining section that the operation member is disposed within a preset neutral range and it has been determined by the operation intention determining section that there is an intention of operating the operation member, the standby current being lower than a current of the time when a hydraulic actuator starts driving.

An excavator operating cycle is detected, and a load sensor senses a physical characteristic of a load moved during the operating cycle. The location where the load is moved to is also sensed. An amount of material moved over a set of operating cycles is determined, and an action signal is generated to control the excavator based upon the calculated amount of material.

An automatic interlock system for a motor grader is disclosed. The automatic interlock system may include one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to determine an operating mode for the motor grader based on one or more operating parameters of the motor grader. The one or more processors may be configured to determine an interlock configuration for the motor grader based on the operating mode. The one or more processors may be configured to selectively activate or deactivate one or more interlocks of the motor grader based on the interlock configuration.
