System Using Radar Apparatus for Assisting a User of a Machine of a Kind Comprising a Body and an Implement

摘要

A system using radar apparatus for assisting a user of a machine of a kind including a body and an implement is disclosed. The system may provide a user with information regarding a current position of a part or parts of the implement that may not otherwise be visible to a user situated in a cab of the machine. The system may provide a user with information regarding a future trajectory of a part or parts of the implement on the basis of sensed data relating to current machine position and movement.

1. A system for providing assistance to a user of a machine of a kind comprising a body and an implement movable relative to the body, wherein the system comprises:
a processor configured to receive a plurality of system inputs and to deliver a system output; and a display configured to display the system output to the user; wherein the plurality of system inputs comprises:
(a) first system input data relating to a type and/or a dimension of the implement;(b) second system input data relating to a current position of the implement;(c) third system input data derived from a radar apparatus focused on a region in the vicinity of the implement; and at least one of:(d) fourth system input data relating to user input control of a first type that governs ground propulsion of the machine; and(e) fifth system input data relating to user input control of a second type that governs movement of the implement relative to the body; wherein the processor is configured to process the plurality of system inputs in order to deliver the system output that represents guidance for the user in relation to a position of the implement.
