System for autonomous path planning and machine control

摘要

A control system (30) is disclosed for use with a mobile loading machine (12a) operating at a first location (14) and a plurality of mobile haul machines (12b) configured to move material received at the first location (14) to a second location (16). The control system (30) may have a plurality of control modules (20), each associated with one of the mobile loading machine (12a) and the plurality of mobile haul machines (12b), and a worksite controller (28). The worksite controller (28) may be configured to make a determination that a position of the mobile loading machine (12a) has changed, and to generate a new travel path (18) for the plurality of mobile haul machines (12b) based on the determination. The worksite controller (28) may also be configured to selectively communicate the new travel path (18) to each of the plurality of control modules (20). The new travel path (18) between the first (14) and second locations (16) may be automatically determined in accordance with at least one user-selected goal.
