A system for controlling the lateral traverse position of a front three-point hitch mounted side-shifting implement and a rear three-point hitch mounted side-shifting implement on a mobile machinery such as an agricultural tractor with an controllable automated steering device, while simultaneously controlling the position of the tractor relative to the positions of each of the two side-shifting implements. The system uses a controller to control the positions of the side-shifting-implements using information received from a position monitoring system communication with roving receivers mounted on the side-shifting-implements. The controller also controls the position of the mobile machinery using local relationship sensors mounted on the side-shifting-implement's position and on the mobile machinery's position. The relationship sensors allow the controller to use two roving data receivers instead of three roving data receivers to control both the position of the side shifting implements and the position of the mobile machinery.

Computer systems and methods of spatially-indexing agricultural content involve inputting agricultural content comprising spatial data and spatially-indexing the agricultural are disclosed herein. In an example, the computer systems and methods involve identifying from the spatial data a set of geospatial boundaries for the agricultural content. The computer systems and methods also involve indexing the agricultural content to the identified geospatial boundaries. The computer systems and methods further involve cross-referencing the indexed agricultural data with a plurality of sets of geospatial boundaries for a plurality of fields. The computer systems and methods additionally involve indexing the agricultural content to one or more of the plurality of fields when the cross-referencing identifies an overlap between the geospatial boundaries of the indexed agricultural data and one or more of the geospatial boundaries of the plurality of fields.

A working vehicle is capable of autonomously traveling on a target traveling route and appropriately performing illumination during autonomous traveling to enable an operator to reliably confirm the presence of obstacles or the like on the target traveling route. The working vehicle includes a traveling body to autonomously travel on the target traveling route, illumination lamps located on the traveling body to respectively illuminate different directions, and a controller to change a control relating to a way of turning on the illumination lamps during the autonomously traveling.

In a method of making work plans for construction machinery, information of the construction machinery at a work site is obtained. The information of the construction machinery is received via a wireless communication. The information of the construction machinery is displayed on a display portion of a server. A work plan of the construction machinery is created on the display portion of the server by using the information of the construction machinery and information stored in the server. The work plan is transmitted to the construction machinery.

A system includes a region data module and a planning module. The region data module acquires excavation region data and embankment region data. The excavation region data indicates positions of a plurality of excavation regions at a work site. The embankment region data indicates positions of a plurality of embankment regions at the work site. The planning module determines, as a construction plan, a construction sequence and a target travel path including a combination of a plurality of travel paths connecting the excavation regions and the embankment regions while taking into account a change in a topography at the work site.

A surveying device is operated to measure a surface profile of a terrain of a worksite and generate surface profile data indicative of the surface profile. A work machine is operated to move along a route over the terrain in accordance with an operating parameter and generates machine operational data indicative of the operating parameter. A navigation system determines the route and generates route data. A processing unit processes the route data, machine operational data and surface profile data to generate monitored operating condition data indicative of a monitored operating condition of the machine.

A method for determining situational awareness in a worksite includes setting at least one environment modelling apparatus (EM) at least one of: on a machine or external from the machine; setting at least one tracking apparatus (TA) at least one of: on the machine or external from the machine; acquiring data by the at least one tracking apparatus (TA); and acquiring data by the at least one environment modelling apparatus. Further, the method includes receiving, by at least one position determination unit (PDU), data related to the at least one tracking apparatus (TA) and data related to the at least one environment modelling apparatus (EM); and determining, by the at least one position determination unit (PDU), based at least in part on the received data, the location and orientation of the machine in the worksite.

Provided are a server and a system which enable one operator driving or operating a work machine to intuitively recognize advice or instruction from another operator. A route guidance request from a first work machine 40 cooperating a first client (first remote operation device 20) is accepted. A guided route R extending between a first designated position P1 and a second designated position P2 may be designated through an input interface 210 of a second client (second remote operation device 20). Then, route guidance information depending on the guided route R is outputted to an output interface 220 of the first client.

A controller determines a plurality of candidate paths. The plurality of candidate paths cross a first digging wall from a first slot toward a second slot and extend in respective directions. The controller calculates an evaluation function of a path search algorithm for each of the plurality of candidate paths. The controller determines a candidate path having an optimal evaluation function of the plurality of the candidate paths as a first digging path. The controller controls a work machine according to the first digging path.

System and methods are provided for dynamic characterization of an area to be worked using a work implement of a work machine. First real-time data (e.g., surface scan data) are collected in a forward direction via a first sensor external to or onboard the work machine, and second real-time data (e.g., surface scan data) are collected for at least a traversed portion of the work area via a second onboard sensor. Characteristic values of a ground material in the work area are determined based on at least the first and second data corresponding to a given surface, and outputs are generated corresponding to at least a determined amount of material needed to achieve target values for the work area, based on at least one of the characteristic values. Certain characteristic values based on the real-time data may be used to estimate, among other things, how many truck loads are still required for the work area.
