System and Method for Controlling the Operation of a Machine

摘要

A system for autonomous control of a machine having a ground-engaging work implement includes a position sensor and a controller. The controller is configured to determine the position of a work surface based upon the position signals and select a work zone loading profile for a work zone cut location along a path within a work zone and the work zone loading profile has a work zone cut angle relative to a ground reference. The controller is further configured to select a final cut loading profile for a final cut location along the path adjacent the boundary zone with the final cut loading profile having a final cut angle relative to the ground reference. The final cut angle is steeper than the work zone cut angle.

1. A system for autonomous control of a machine having a ground-engaging work implement, the machine moving on a work surface along a path at a work site, comprising:
a position sensor for generating position signals indicative of a position of the work surface; and a controller configured to:
store an electronic map of the work site, the work site including a boundary, a work zone, and a boundary zone between the boundary and the work zone;store a target surface;determine the position of the work surface based upon the position signals;select a work zone loading profile for a work zone cut location along the path within the work zone, the work zone loading profile having a work zone cut angle relative to a ground reference;select a final cut loading profile for a final cut location along the path adjacent the boundary zone, the final cut loading profile having a final cut angle relative to the ground reference, the final cut angle being steeper than the work zone cut angle.
