BUMP DETECTION AND EFFECT REDUCTION IN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

摘要

In one embodiment, a control system for a base station includes a first transceiver configured to receive a first signal and send a second signal to an agricultural vehicle. The first signal indicates at least an acceleration of the vehicle, a current velocity of the vehicle, and a location relative to a terrain where the vehicle experienced the acceleration, and the second signal indicates a vehicle target velocity. The control system includes a controller configured to determine a bump severity value based on the acceleration and the current velocity of the vehicle, mark an area indicative of the bump on a map of the terrain when the bump severity value exceeds a threshold, and automatically generate the second signal when the vehicle enters the area. The target velocity is based on a proximity of the vehicle to the bump, the bump severity value, or some combination thereof.

1. A control system for a base station, comprising:
a first transceiver configured to receive a first signal from a second transceiver of an agricultural vehicle and to send a second signal to the second transceiver, wherein the first signal is indicative of at least an acceleration of the agricultural vehicle, a current velocity of the agricultural vehicle, and a location relative to a terrain of the agricultural vehicle where the agricultural vehicle experienced the acceleration, and the second signal is indicative of at least a target velocity for the agricultural vehicle; and a first controller communicatively coupled to the first transceiver, wherein the first controller is configured to:
determine a bump severity value based at least in part on the acceleration and the current velocity of the agricultural vehicle;mark an area indicative of the bump on a map of the terrain when the bump severity value exceeds a threshold bump severity value at the location where the agricultural vehicle experienced the acceleration; andautomatically generate the second signal when the agricultural vehicle enters the area on the map, wherein the target velocity is based at least in part on a proximity of the agricultural vehicle to an identified bump, the bump severity value, or some combination thereof.
