Work vehicle
The present describes a work vehicle where an operator can, on the work vehicle side, confirm which working machine is engaged and set which working machine to engage. A tractor, to which a working machine can be mounted, is provided with: a liquid crystal panel selectably displaying an engageable working machine mounted and displaying the currently engaged working machine so as to be identifiable; an operation unit (encoder dial, enter button, and command buttons) for carrying out selection and determination operations for the working machine displayed on the liquid crystal panel; and a control device that, when a determination operation is carried out by the operation unit for a desired working machine, disengages the currently engaged working machine, and configures the working machine for which the determination operation has been carried out to be engaged.
ARRANGEMENT OF A PALM REST AND AN OPERATING ELEMENT FOR A VEHICLE
The invention relates to an arrangement (I) of a palm rest (IO) and a manually actuatable operating element (20) for a vehicle. The palm rest (IO) is designed to adopt a first and a second position relative to the operating element (20), the palm rest (IO) being positioned, in the first position, such that it enables a hand (2) to be supported while the operating element (20) is being operated. To protect against damage and to enable the vehicle interior to be better used, the palm rest (IO) is positioned, in the second position, such that the palm rest (IO) at least partially projects over and/or covers the operating element (20).
System and method for navigating an operator to couple a self-propelled vehicle with an attachment implement therefor
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for navigating an operator of a self-propelled vehicle for coupling with an attachment implement therefor. Each one of a first set of sensing elements arranged on the vehicle coupler forms a sensing pair with a respective one of a set of second sensing elements arranged on the attachment implement. Indicia for each of the sensing pairs on a user interface is displayed to the operator, corresponding to a three-dimensional spatial orientation of the first and second sensing elements with respect to each other. The user interface may comprise respective portions for each sensing pair, each portion comprising an indicator dynamically adjusted in a crosshair corresponding to first and second dimensions of alignment of the corresponding sensing elements with respect to each other, and the indicator in each portion further dynamically adjusted in appearance corresponding to a third dimension of distance between the corresponding sensing elements.
CONTROL UNIT FOR A UTILITY VEHICLE
An operating unit for a utility vehicle is provided. The operating unit has a grip zone, at least one actuation unit and a control unit. The grip zone includes a plurality of contact-detecting sensor units. The control unit is designed to detect signals from the sensor units and to identify an intended operation on the basis of the signals. An arrangement of the sensor units is formed in such manner that various hand positions are identifiable by means of the control unit. The control unit is designed to release control signals generated by the operating unit and/or the at least one actuation unit depending on the position of the hand.
Utility Vehicle
A utility vehicle includes an open driver section including a driver’s seat for a driver to sit on; a hermetically sealable space disposed in the driver section and having a door; and a terminal in the hermetically sealable space.
CONTROL DEVICE, WORK MACHINE, AND CONTROL METHOD
A control device of a touch panel monitor for a work machine includes a display signal generation unit configured to generate a display signal for displaying on the touch panel monitor including a plurality of display screens, a determination unit configured to receive a touch operation for each of the plurality of display screens and determine whether the received touch operation is an acceptable touch operation defined for each type of the display screens, and a control unit configured to perform a control with respect to the type of display screen according to the received touch operation when the received touch operation is the acceptable touch operation.
CAB FOR HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE WHEREBY THE DISPLAY FUNCTION OF EACH SCREEN CAN BE MODIFIED AND CONTEXTUALIZED
The invention relates to a cab for a heavy-duty vehicle, such as a bus or truck, whereby at least three display screens are arranged inside the cab, each display screen having a display function, so that at least three different images, containing information for the driver, can be displayed, wherein all the screens are connected to one and the same communication network so that any signal can be transmitted through the network to the display screens and, accordingly, the display function of each screen can be modified.
METHOD FOR REPRESENTING AN ENVIRONMENT BY MEANS OF A DISPLAY UNIT ARRANGED ON A PERSON AND VISIBLE FOR THE PERSON
A method represents an environment via a display unit arranged on a person and visible for the person as a display image within the scope of a simulation. The simulation is carried out in an interaction environment, wherein a number of actuatable interaction elements are arranged in the interaction environment. An interaction environment image capture, depicting the interaction environment, is created by use of a first image capturing unit arranged on the person or relative to the person. A position of the person is determined in the interaction environment and based on the position of the person an environment image is provided. An image mask is provided which depicts the individual interaction elements contained in the interaction environment image capture and is represented in the display image. The interaction environment image capture and the environment image are superimposed using the image mask and then displayed on the display unit.
MANAGING RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND ACCESSORIES
A vehicle is electrically connected to one or more accessories. The vehicle includes at least one controller that may be configured to identify the accessory based on accessory identification information. The controller may also be configured to provide one or more commands to control an operation of the accessory.
Construction machine and method of controlling construction machine
A construction machine includes an image capturing device configured to capture an image of the surroundings, an image display part mounted in an operator's cab and configured to display a menu screen showing an operating condition and various settings, or the captured image captured with the image capturing device, an operation part including a menu switch to cause the menu screen to be displayed on the image display part, and a detector configured to detect whether a work element is enabled or disabled. The image display part is configured to display a warning in response to the menu switch being operated while the work element is enabled.
