An operation system of a working machine mounted on the working machine, including a first control device to control the working machine, and a first command device to output a command to the first control device wirelessly, the command relating to control of the first control device. The first command device includes a first obtaining part to obtain an expiration date of the working machine from outside, a first time calculating part to obtain time, a third processing part to judge whether the time obtained by the first time calculating part meets the expiration date, and a sixth communication part to output a first command when the time meets the expiration date, the first command restricting control of the first control device, and to output a second command when the time does not meet the expiration date, the second command allowing the first control device to be controlled without restriction.

A position specifying system includes: a detection unit detecting a parameter for specifying a posture of a specification target construction machine; a posture information generation unit generating posture information regarding a posture of the specification target construction machine based on the parameter; an image-capturing device acquiring an image including a plurality of construction machines at a work site; a posture estimation unit estimating a posture of each of the plurality of construction machines based on the image and generating posture estimation information regarding the posture having been estimated; a machine specifying unit specifying a construction machine corresponding to the posture information from among the plurality of construction machines by comparing the posture information with the posture estimation information; and an information output unit generating, based on the image, and outputting position information regarding a position of the construction machine having been specified.

A work information generation system includes: a data acquisition unit that acquires time-series work data for determining work content of work performed by a construction machine and attendant situation data representing an attendant situation including at least one of a situation of the construction machine and a situation around the construction machine when the work is performed; a work content determination unit that determines the work content based on the time-series work data; and a reflection information generation unit that generates, based on the work content and the attendant situation data, reflection information, which is information in which the attendant situation is reflected on the work content.

This description provides an autonomous or semi-autonomous earth shaping vehicle that is capable of cooperatively filling earth into a fill location in a dig site. A first earth shaping vehicle configured with a hauling tool carrying a volume of earth navigates to the fill location. At the fill location, the first earth shaping vehicle navigates over a target tool path to fill earth from the hauling tool into the fill location. As the first earth shaping vehicle fills earth into the fill location, a measurement sensor coupled to the first earth shaping vehicle measures a compaction level of earth filled into the fill location. If the measured compaction level is determined to be below a threshold compaction level, the first earth shaping vehicle communicates a request for a second earth shaping vehicle configured with a compaction tool to compact earth in the fill location.

A method includes sensing, with a sensor, an outer surface of a pile of material, with a controller located on an at least partially autonomously-controlled machine, a midpoint of the pile of material based on the sensed outer surface; determining, with the controller, a plurality of potential loading paths around the midpoint for loading the machine; selecting, with the controller, a primary loading path of the potential loading paths based on a cost function analysis, and causing, with the controller, the machine to perform a loading instance as defined by the primary loading path.

A method including the steps of receiving mine operations data from a set of data sources in a mine, processing the mine operations data to detect a set of events meeting at least one operator attention triggering condition, mapping the set of events to a mine model on the basis of location information associated with the events in the set of events, determining an affected location area of the set of events mapped to the mine model, and generating an operator attention indicator dependent on density of events in the affected location area for display for the set of events in the affected location area in the mine model to an operator to adjust operation of one or more mine operations devices.

A system controls a work machine at a work site. The system includes a machine position sensor that detects a position of the work machine, a shovel position sensor that detects a position of a shovel, and a controller that acquires machine position data indicative of the position of the work machine and shovel position data indicative of the position of the shovel. The controller determines a work area that includes a plurality of work lanes extending in a predetermined work direction at the work site. The controller allocates the work machine to the plurality of work lanes. The controller determines, as a work restricted area of the work machine, a predetermined range in which the position of the shovel is used as a reference at the work site. The controller controls the work machine so that automatic operation of the work machine in the work restricted area is restricted.

A system includes an input device, a display, and a processor that receives a signal indicative of operation of the input device and outputs a signal to display an image on the display. The processor acquires current terrain data and displays a site image indicative of at least a part of a work site on the display based on the current terrain data. The processor acquires area data including a position and size of a work area designated by the input device on the site image. The processor acquires work data indicative of a work direction in the work area. The processor determines an arrangement of a plurality of work lanes extending in the work direction in the work area based on the area data and the work data. The processor sends an automatic operation command to the work machine according to the arrangement of the work lanes.

A work site management system includes: an entry-prohibited area setting unit that sets an entry-prohibited area to prohibit an entry of a manned transport vehicle at a discharging site in a work site; and a notification unit that notifies the manned transport vehicle of the entry-prohibited area.

A heavy equipment hazard warning apparatus for a piece of heavy equipment at a site and a system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the heavy equipment hazard warning apparatus, the location of the heavy equipment is monitored by the heavy equipment warning apparatus and analyzed with reference to a hazard safety site plan of the site that identifies a hazard such as existing utilities, for example. An alert notification is initialized in response to the heavy equipment encroaching on a hazard geofence around the hazard. A shutdown notification is initialized in response to the heavy equipment being proximate to the hazard.
