Display control device and display control method
A display control device includes an image receiving unit that receives an image captured by an imaging device included in a work machine and a display control unit that processes the image based on a movement amount of the work machine in receipt delay time of the image, and generates a display signal.
Work vehicle, system including work vehicle, and load weight calculation method for work vehicle
A first processor determines a loaded state of a bucket, makes a determination that a traveling apparatus has performed an operation for shifting from a rearward movement state to a state (forward movement or stop) other than the rearward movement state in the loaded state, and calculates a load weight of the bucket from a detection value of a work implement sensor (first hydraulic pressure detectors and a first angle detector) based on the determination.
System for detecting locking pin engagement of an implement
A monitoring system for a work vehicle having a lift system to which an implement is attachable via a connection assembly includes a weight detection subsystem operable with the lift system and configured to transfer signals representative of a weight supported by the lift system. The monitoring system also includes a position detection subsystem operable with the connection assembly and configured to transfer signals representative of a state of the connection assembly. A controller is in operable communication with the weight detection subsystem and the position detection subsystem and is configured to receive signals from the weight detection subsystem and from the position detection subsystem, determine a condition of the connection assembly based on the signals received, and output a signal based at least in part on the determined condition.
WORK ASSISTING SERVER, WORK ASSISTING METHOD, AND WORK ASSISTING SYSTEM
A server and so forth are provided that enable an operator to gain experience in operation by a simulation while referring to a situation of an operation of a work machine by the operator himself/herself or another operator. A second operator can designate one time series of work environment images from archives registered in a database 102 through a remote input interface 210. Accordingly, the second operator can browse the time series of the designated work environment images on a remote output interface 220. The second operator can cause the remote output interface 220 to output a time series of simulation images which represent an action manner and an environment changing manner of a work machine at a virtual work site in accordance with a simulation operation manner in a remote operation mechanism 211.
REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
A remote control system 1 comprises a server 50 configured to acquire, for each of a plurality of construction machines 10, information indicating whether a predetermined event related to a machine control request timing which is a timing at which control of each of the plurality of construction machines 10 is to be started has occurred, and reporting devices 44, 45 configured to output report information to an operator according to an instruction from the server 50. With respect to any one of the plurality of construction machines 10, the server 50 is configured to, when acquiring information indicating occurrence of the predetermined event associated with the construction machine, output report information indicating the occurrence from the reporting devices 44, 45.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING A WORK VEHICLE DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF AN EARTHMOVING OPERATION
A method for automatically controlling an operation of a work vehicle during the performance of an earthmoving operation may include receiving an input associated with initiating an automated dumping operation to allow a load of worksite materials contained by an implement of a lift assembly of the work vehicle to be released onto a dump pile. The method may further include determining a current vertical height of the dump pile based on data from at least one sensor and determining a dumping height of the implement for performing the dumping operation based on the current vertical height. Additionally, the method may include controlling an operation of the lift assembly to move the implement to the dumping height and then to pivot the implement from a load-carrying position to a load-dumping position to release the load of worksite materials onto the dump pile from the dumping height.
Movement Identification Device
Provided is a movement identification device capable of identifying a specific motion of a construction machine based on the output of a sensor attached to the construction machine with higher accuracy than the conventional technology. A movement identification device 100 includes a waveform generation unit 111, a waveform storage unit 121, and a motion identification unit 112. The waveform generation unit 111 generates a force waveform based on the signal of a force sensor that detects the force acting on the construction machine and an attitude waveform based on the signal of an attitude sensor that detects the attitude of the construction machine. The waveform storage unit 121 stores reference waveforms, which are combinations of force waveforms and attitude waveforms corresponding to specific motions. The motion identification unit 112 compares a motion waveform, which is a combination of a force waveform and an attitude waveform corresponding to an arbitrary motion of a construction machine, with the reference waveforms stored in the waveform storage unit 121 to identify a specific motion in the arbitrary motion of the construction machine.

WORK MACHINE
In a work machine, a load information output part outputs a load calculated by a load calculation part as load information before a piston member shifting toward a stroke end reaches a specific position, and a load storage part stores the load calculated by the load calculation part as a specific load when the piston member shifting toward the stroke end reaches the specific position. The load information output part further outputs the specific load as the load information after the piston member shifting toward the stroke end enters a specific region.
