Abstract:
A mobile fluid delivery machine for delivering fluid to a site has a tank storing fluid, and at least one spray head configured to spray the stored fluid onto the site. In addition, the machine has a communication device configured to receive fluid delivery mission instructions from a site computing system, the mission instructions identifying a sequence of path segments on the site and corresponding fluid delivery amounts allocated to the path segments, and a location device configured to determine the location of the machine on the site. Th machine may also have a fluid delivery system configured to determine whether the location of the fluid delivery machine corresponds to a path segment of the sequence, and when it is determined that the location of the machine corresponds to a path segment in the sequence, to identify the fluid delivery amount allocated to that path segment based on the mission instructions.

James Decker Humphrey - Decatur IL, US
International Classification:
G06N 7/02
US Classification:
706 52
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining machine control zones associated with a mine site comprise receiving, at a processor, information indicative of an occurrence of a detonation of explosive material in the mine site. The method may further include predicting, at the processor, a blast zone associated with the detonation of explosive material based on the information and accessing, by the processor from a job-site map database, information indicative of one or more topographical features associated with the blast zone. The method may also include establishing, at the processor, a designated area associated with the blast zone based at least on the predicted blast zone and the information indicative of the one or more topographical features and providing, by the processor to one or more machines, information indicative of the designated area.

Filed:
Aug 7, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/568271
Inventors:
James Decker Humphrey - Decatur IL, US
International Classification:
G05D 1/00
US Classification:
701 26, 701 41
Abstract:
A system for controlling a first machine performing a turn includes a controller configured to identify a desired turn for the first machine. The desired turn is formed by two adjacent traffic lanes. The two traffic lanes include a first traffic lane and a second traffic lane. The controller is further configured to receive information regarding a second machine and determine whether to control the first machine to follow a lane crossing path for performing the desired turn based on the received information. The lane crossing path includes a portion of the first traffic lane and a portion of the second traffic lane such that the first machine changes between the first traffic lane and the second traffic lane to perform the desired turn.
