Methods, systems, and apparatus are described herein for providing operational efficiency at a construction site through a connected system of on-board mobile computers.

A system, method, and apparatus can access, via a user interface, route properties of a mine site used for controlling one or more work machines as the work machine(s) travel through the mine site. Access regarding the route properties can include viewing one or more of the properties and/or setting requirements (e.g., restrictions or limitations) for one or more of the properties. A candidate route can be selected, validated, and set as a selected route using the user interface to access route properties associated with the selected route. Requirements can be set for one or more of the route properties using the user interface. The work machines can be controlled to traverse the mine site according to the requirements set for the route properties.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for controlling a work implement (e.g., front-mounted blade) relative to a work vehicle to produce a desired profile in a ground surface. Chassis-mounted sensor(s) detect an actual pitch velocity and an actual pitch angle of the chassis relative to the ground. Further sensor(s) detect an actual lift position of the blade relative to the chassis. A desired profile to be produced by the blade with respect to the ground surface is determined, for example via an automated grade control system, via manually-initiated trigger(s), and/or via time-based rolling averages of detected values. A position of the implement is automatically controlled as a function of each of the actual pitch velocity, the actual pitch angle of the chassis relative to the ground, and the actual lift position of the work implement relative to the chassis, corresponding to the desired profile with respect to the ground surface.

A loaded machine information acquisition unit acquires position information and azimuth direction information of a transport vehicle. An earth removal position-specifying unit specifies an earth removal position for loading a load target onto the transport vehicle, based on the position information and the azimuth direction information. A bucket position-specifying unit specifies a position of a bucket. An operation signal generation unit generates an operation signal for moving the bucket from the specified position to the earth removal position.

A captured image acquisition unit of a display control device according to the present invention acquires an image captured by an imaging device mounted on a loading vehicle. A loaded weight acquisition unit acquires a loaded weight measured by a weight scale mounted on a transport vehicle. A display image generation unit generates a display image obtained by disposing an image showing the loaded weight on the captured image. A display control unit outputs a display signal for displaying the display image to a display device.

A system for autonomous or semi-autonomous operation of a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a machine automation portal (MAP) application configured to enable a computing device to (a) display a map of a work site and (b) provide a graphical user interface that enables a user to (i) define a boundary of an autonomous operating zone on the map and (ii) define a boundary of one or more exclusion zones. The system also includes a robotics processing unit configured to (a) receive the boundary of the autonomous operating zone and the boundary of each exclusion zone from the computing device, (b) generate a planned command path that the vehicle will travel to perform a task within the autonomous operating zone while avoiding each exclusion zone, and (c) control operation of the vehicle so that the vehicle travels the planned command path to perform the task.

A self-propelled work vehicle is provided with a control system enabling the use of gestures on a touch screen interface to provide a simple and intuitive way to manipulate displayed images, and/or automatically changing a region of interest of a surround view camera unit. Exemplary automatic manipulation may be implemented if a work vehicle is detected as performing a certain function, wherein surround view images can automatically change to a smaller sub-view which gives more focused visibility appropriate to that function. The distortion and simulated field of view of surround view images may also/otherwise be automatically manipulated based on a detected operation/function. The control system can also/otherwise dynamically modify surround view images in accordance with a detected work state, and/or based on outputs from an obstacle detection system. The control system can also/otherwise lock the sub-view to recognized objects of interest, such as trucks or trenches.

A speed determination method, an electronic device and a computer storage medium are provided, relates to the field of computer technology, and may be applied to the field of artificial intelligence, especially the field of automated driving. The method includes: determining an expected speed direction of a controlled point of a first controlled target according to an actual location of the controlled point of the first controlled target and a preset trajectory of the controlled point of the first controlled target, wherein the first controlled target is one of a plurality of controlled targets having a kinematic relationship; and determining a target speed of at least one controlled target of the plurality of controlled targets according to the expected speed direction of the controlled point of the first controlled target and the kinematic relationship.
