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.

An agricultural baler system includes: an agricultural baler including a bale chamber configured to form a bale from crop material, a crop conveyor configured to feed crop material into the bale chamber, a location sensor configured to output a location signal corresponding to a location of the agricultural baler, and a parameter sensor configured to output a parameter signal corresponding to a measured parameter; and a controller operably coupled to the travel sensor and the parameter sensor. The controller is configured to: determine an area based at least partially on a rake width of a rake and a defined length; determine a parameter distribution in a region of a field having the area based at least partially on the measured parameter and the location of the agricultural baler; and output a field map update signal to update a field map to indicate the determined parameter distribution.

Systems and techniques are described for situational token-associated media output. A system receives sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a media device. The system identifies, based on the sensor data, a relationship between the media device and an anchor element that is associated with a token. The system identifies the token in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger. The token corresponds to media content according to the distributed ledger. The system generates a representation of the media content corresponding to the token. In response to identifying the relationship between the media device and the anchor element, the system outputs the representation of the media content.

The current invention relates to methods and systems for evaluating a filling state of a load bearing means by means of a monitoring system comprising a sensing module; said load bearing means adapted for being carried by a transport unit; said load bearing means comprising a loading space; said sensing module situated in proximity to said load bearing means and outside of said loading space; said sensing module comprising an emitter, a receiver, an evaluator and a memory comprising calibration data; said sensing module configured for carrying out a plurality of steps; wherein a spacing S between said emitter and said receiver does not exceed 200 mm; and wherein a maximum dimension M of said load bearing means is not smaller than 4 m.

A tracking device with a screen that displays the mode of the tracking device on a screen. The device modes may include sleep mode, monitor mode, locate mode, and emergency mode. Each mode represents a frequency of transmission and which can be changed by the software developer or by the consumer in their software application. The sleep mode will be the fewest frequency pings and may be the mode in which the tracking device is operating while it is in a geofence. Monitor mode will be a higher frequency of pings and a locate mode may be yet a further increased number of pings per given time interval. The emergency mode will be entered when, for example, the pet is outside of the geofence and the owner needs to receive an intense number of pings to assure proper location, especially if the pet is moving. A charge may be made to the customer to enable readouts showing the mode and battery life left, and that the revenues derived from the customer, and in the case where the tracking device is used for pets, may be shared with the pet store. The user will be able to know the battery life remaining in any of the modes. The software application will communicate with the tracking device to change the frequency of the pings.

Systems and methods for coordinating steering controls between towing vehicles and towed vehicles provide more cohesive parking experiences during towing events, including bidirectional charging towing events. The towed vehicle may be controlled to provide assistive parking steering maneuvers to assist the towing vehicle when parking during the towing event. The assistive parking steering maneuver may include maneuvering a drive wheel of the towed vehicle either toward or away from a detected curb or detected traffic, for example.
