An agricultural harvester includes a cutting head configured to harvest an agricultural material, a transfer mechanism configured to transfer the harvested agricultural material from the agricultural harvester, and a fill management system. The fill management system is configured to provide open-loop control of an automated transfer of the agricultural material from the agricultural harvester. The fill management system includes a controller, a user interface module coupled to the controller and configured to receive user input indicative of a selected nudge direction, and a wireless communication module coupled to the fill management system and configured to communicate wirelessly with a receiving vehicle. The wireless communication module is configured to obtain storage dimensions relative to the receiving vehicle from the receiving vehicle. At least one sensor is operably coupled to the transfer mechanism and provides a sensor signal that is indicative of flow of the agricultural material through the transfer mechanism. The controller is configured to automatically generate relative positional adjustments between the agricultural harvester and the receiving vehicle based on the signal indicative of flow through the transfer mechanism and the storage dimensions relative to the receiving vehicle.

A self-propelled milling machine includes a controller which continuously locates an alterable position of a loading surface and of a slewable transport conveyor relative to a machine frame, or the position of the loading surface relative to the transport conveyor, and automatically controls one or more of the slewing angle, the elevation angle and the conveying speed of the transport conveyor, wherein discharged milling material impinges on pre-calculated points of impingement within the loading surface. The controller determines correction factors for the control parameter(s) as a function of a transverse inclination about the longitudinal central axis of the loading surface, a position angle between the longitudinal central axis of the loading surface and the longitudinal central axis of the transport conveyor or that of the machine frame, and/or the position of the pre-calculated point of impingement relative to an end of the loading surface lying on the longitudinal central axis.

The present disclosure is directed to a system for non-stop high-speed rail transportation having a high-speed rail car with a movable cabin, and a high-speed rail shuttle reaching a speed equivalent to that of the high-speed rail car. The system also includes a mechanical coupling between the high-speed rail car and the high-speed rail shuttle, and a transfer platform system supporting a transfer of the movable cabin from the high-speed rail car to the high-speed rail shuttle. The present disclosure is also directed to a method of non-stop high-speed rail transportation including operating a high-speed rail car at a high-speed and a high-speed rail shuttle at the high-speed alongside the high-speed rail car. The method also includes coupling the high-speed rail car to the high-speed rail shuttle, transferring a movable cabin from the high-speed rail car to the high-speed rail shuttle, and decoupling the high-speed rail shuttle from the high-speed rail shuttle.

A material transfer vehicle has a discharge conveyor with a discharge chute mounted thereon. A controller is operatively connected to the elevation control system and the steering control system for the discharge conveyor. The controller is adapted to communicate with the elevation control system for the discharge conveyor to adjust the elevation of the discharge conveyor. The controller is also adapted to communicate with the steering control system for the discharge conveyor so that the angular orientation of the discharge conveyor with respect to the longitudinal axis of the material transfer vehicle may be adjusted. A paver-locating sensor is operatively connected to the controller, and is located and adapted to execute multiple non-contact sensor scan passes across the front end of the paving machine to determine the distance and orientation of the paving machine with respect to the paver-locating sensor and to communicate this information.
