METHOD AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT FOR DETERMINING A VERTICAL POSITION

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method for determining the vertical position of at least a point of a ground portion (40) using a work machine (10) comprising an implement (14). The work machine (10) further comprises position determining means (32) adapted to determine at least the vertical position of the implement (14) and force determining means (28) adapted to determine a force applied to the implement (14). The method comprises: -determining a contact force value indicative of a contact force between the ground portion (40) and the implement (14) using the force determining means (28); -determining whether or not the contact force value is within a predetermined contact force value range, and -if it is determined that the contact force value is within the predetermined contact force value range, using the position determining means (32) for determining at least the vertical position of a portion of the implement (14) which is in contact with the ground portion (40).
