A management system includes a course data generation unit that generates course data for each of a plurality of unmanned vehicles such that loading work for the plurality of unmanned vehicles by a loader is sequentially performed on a work site where a plurality of the loaders operates; and a priority determination unit that determine a passage order at an intersection on the work site of the plurality of unmanned vehicles traveling according to the course data so as to reduce a total loading loss indicating a total of loss amounts in operation of each of the plurality of the loaders.

At least a portion of a first target design topography is positioned below an actual topography. At least a portion of a second target design topography is positioned below the actual topography and is inclined with respect to the first target design topography. A controller generates a command signal to operate a work implement according to the first target design topography in an area where the first target design topography is positioned above the second target design topography. The controller generates a command signal to operate the work implement according to the second target design topography in an area where the second target design topography is positioned above the first target design topography.

A control system for the work vehicle includes a display, an input device, and a controller. The controller displays a current position of a work vehicle on a screen of a display. The controller receives a first input signal indicating an input operation by an operator from a input device. The controller determines, as a first position, the position of the work vehicle when the first input signal is received. The controller displays the first position on the screen of the display. The controller receives a second input signal indicating an input operation by an operator from the input device. The controller determines, as the second position, the position of the work vehicle when the second input signal is received. The controller determines a target design surface indicating a target trajectory of a work implement based on reference position information including at least the first position and the second position.

A controller acquires a static path indicative of a target route of a transport vehicle. The static path includes a first endpoint and a second endpoint. The static path is set between a first work machine and a second work machine. The controller determines a first dynamic path that connects the first endpoint and a first target position for work of the first work machine. The controller determines a second dynamic path that connects the second endpoint and a second target position for work of the second work machine. The controller controls the transport vehicle so that the transport vehicle travels according to the static path, the first dynamic path, and the second dynamic path.

To provide an autonomous traveling control method for a crawler vehicle capable of accurately computing a predicted slide-down amount of a crawler vehicle when the crawler vehicle travels on a slope, and enabling an autonomous traveling control based on the predicted slide-down amount. An autonomous traveling control method for a crawler vehicle includes the steps of setting a target trajectory of a crawler vehicle; and computing a predicted slide-down amount of the crawler vehicle when the crawler vehicle travels on a slope on the basis of a target trajectory, using a center of gravity position of the crawler vehicle, an angle of the slope and a traveling direction of the crawler vehicle in the slope.

A system and method are provided for determining mistrack conditions in work vehicles such as excavators having first and second tracks. A controller uses data from onboard sensors (e.g., cameras, lidar) having an external field of view to detect a first position of, e.g., a track of the work vehicle relative to a first external point in a local reference system independent of a global reference system and to detect, upon the work vehicle having advanced from the detected first position a predetermined distance, a second position of the at least first component of the work vehicle relative to a second external point in the local reference system. The controller further determines an amount of mistrack error corresponding to a difference between the detected second position and an expected second position, and generates an output signal based on the determined amount of mistrack error.

A method for changing an orientation of a machine at a worksite includes controlling, by a controller, a movement of the machine from a first position to a second position along a first route; controlling, by the controller, a movement of the machine from the second position to a third position along a second route; and controlling, by the controller, a movement of the machine from the third position towards the first position along a third route, Each of the first route, the second route, and the third route define respective apexes and combinedly define a region therebetween. One or more of the apexes are directed inwards into the region.

A retrofit kit for a power machine can include a detection module configured to be removably secured to the power machine to detect objects around the power machine. A control module can be configured to receive detected object data from the detection module and control the display module based on the detected object data to provide one or more indicators of an object detected by the detection module.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to generating and utilizing three-dimensional terrain maps for vehicular control. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A system to control operation of a machine having a ground-engaging work implement for moving material about a worksite include a controller configured to determine a feasible target profile for the work implement to engage material. The feasible target profile may include a preload segment, a cut segment, and a loading segment. The controller determines a feasible prospective cut segment from a plurality of prospective cut segments. The controller generates a prospective preloading segment and a prospective loading segment associated with the feasible prospective cut profile. Position points associated with the loading segment are extracted and the controller determines if the ground-engaging work implement will align with the plurality of position points. The controller may also determine whether the load volume for the prospective cut segment is efficient.
