System and method for validating availability of machine at worksite
A worksite management system may include a worksite controller including one or more worksite controller processors configured to receive a signal indicative of a task to be performed by a machine at a worksite, identify a machine for performing the task, and generate a signal indicative of the machine. The worksite management system may also include a mobile device including one or more mobile device processors configured to receive the signal indicative of the machine, display an image representative of the machine, and display a prompt for a person at the worksite to validate availability of the machine to perform the task.
Adaptive multi-network vehicle architecture
A vehicle can connect to multiple networks and can determine network parameters (e.g., available bandwidth, latency, signal strength, etc.) associated with the multiple networks. Additionally, the vehicle can access network map data associated with the multiple networks. As the vehicle traverses an environment, the vehicle can collect sensor data of the environment and/or vehicle data (e.g., vehicle pose, diagnostic data, etc.). Based on the network parameters and the network map data, the vehicle can optimize the use of the networks determine portions of the sensor data and/or vehicle data to transmit via the one or more of the multiple networks.
Control device, control method, and computer-readable storage medium
A control device acquires information regarding a communication quality of a base station that performs a predetermined type of communication, and performs a control for moving a mobile base station to a position associated with the base station in a case where it is determined that the communication quality is lower than a predetermined communication quality.
Remote wireless hydraulic cab
A remote wireless hydraulic cab preferably includes a cab member, a hydraulic sensor block, an electrical bulkhead, a cab bridge controller and a cab transceiver. The cab member preferably includes a cab enclosure, two hydraulic joysticks, two hydraulic treadles and electrical equipment. The hydraulic sensor block includes a sensor block and a plurality of hydraulic pressure sensors. Hydraulic lines from the joysticks and treadles are connected to the sensor block. Pressure measurements from the joysticks and treadles are sent from the plurality of hydraulic pressure sensors to the cab bridge controller. The cab bridge controller sends signals for wireless transmission through a cab wireless transceiver to a frame transceiver. The electrical equipment is supplied with electrical power and transmits signals through the electrical bulkhead. Electrical power to the cab enclosure is supplied through an electrical generator and hydraulic fluid to the joysticks and treadles are supplied through a hydraulic pump.
Control device and control method
A control device of a mobile object is configured to execute a function using communication. The control device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire communication quality on a planned movement route of the mobile object, and a determination unit configured to determine, based on the acquired communication quality, whether or not the planned movement route includes a position that does not satisfy communication quality required for execution of the function.
Communication device, user terminal, communication system, controlling method of same, and program
A communication system includes a communication device that may transmit a command for requesting a response about communication quality to a specific type of user terminal, and a user terminal that may transmit the communication quality in response to the command.
