RESPONSE VEHICLE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A response vehicle system includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine whether a response vehicle has arrived at a scene and provide a signal to switch the response vehicle from an operational condition to a locked condition at least in response to the vehicle arriving at the scene, thereby preventing undesired operation of the response vehicle.
CAB MOUNT FOR A WORK VEHICLE
A work vehicle includes an operator cabin, a transmission-supporting frame, and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a first mount configured to couple to the operator cabin, and a second mount configured to couple to the transmission-supporting frame. The first mount includes a first plate, and the second mount includes a second plate. The first plate and the second plate are coupled to one another at an interface, and at least one of the first plate and the second plate are configured to deform proximate to the interface to separate from one another when under tension during a roll-over event.
Tipping indicator for a work vehicle
A work vehicle includes a frame assembly and an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly has an attachment end pivotally connected to the frame assembly and a distal end configured for receiving a variable load. At least one force sensor senses at least one force associated with the attachment end. The at least one force sensor provides an output signal representing the sensed at least one force. An inclination sensor senses an inclination associated with the frame assembly and provides an output signal representing the sensed inclination. An electrical processing circuit is configured for receiving the output signal from the at least one force sensor, determining a value of a couple at the frame assembly which is associated with the sensed at least one force, comparing the couple with a threshold value which is dependent on the sensed inclination, and controlling the controllable output dependent on the comparison.
SEAT BELT
Disclosed seat belt assemblies or mechanisms include a seat belt guide which positions the seat belt for convenient ingress and egress by an operator, but in a position which reminds the operator to fasten the seat belt. The seat belt guide is configured to be stiffer in one direction of movement to maintain the metal tab of the seat belt at a raised position to one side of the operator seat, for example at a position adjacent to an operator joystick or control, but to allow the guide and the seat belt to be moved across the operator seat (and operator) for buckling.
Automatic vehicle braking in response to operator egress
A vehicle includes a cabin, a brake, a vehicle subsystem, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive an indication that an operator is attempting to exit the cabin and automatically engage the brake in response to the indication to prevent movement of the vehicle. The vehicle subsystem remains operational while the brake is engaged.

AUTOMATIC VEHICLE BRAKING IN RESPONSE TO OPERATOR EGRESS
A vehicle system includes a vehicle subsystem and a processing circuit. The vehicle subsystem includes a pump. The processing circuit is configured to receive an indication that an operator is attempting to exit a cabin of a vehicle and automatically engage a brake of the vehicle in response to the indication to prevent movement of the vehicle. The vehicle subsystem remains operational while the brake is engaged.
Controls for a work machine
A compact work machine, such as a compact track loader and/or a compact utility loader, which can carry and operate a wide range of attachments while maintaining a reduced operating footprint.

RESPONSE VEHICLE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A response scene management system includes a first response vehicle including a first communications device and a second response vehicle include a second communications device. The first communications device and the second communications device are configured to facilitate forming a localized wireless communication network while at a scene.
