System and Method for Optimizing a Work Implement Path

摘要

A system for determining an optimized cut location for a work implement includes a position sensor and a controller. The controller is configured to determine the position of a work surface and determine an initial cut location along a path based upon an initial target profile and the initial target profile has an initial cut length longer than an evaluation cut length. The controller is also configured to determine a plurality of potential cut locations along the path, determine a volume of material to be moved for each of the plurality of potential cut locations with the volume of material to be moved being based upon the loading profile, the evaluation cut length, and the position of the work surface. The controller is configured to select that optimized cut location from one of the plurality of potential cut locations for which the volume of material exceeds the material volume threshold.

1. A system for determining an optimized cut location for a work implement of a machine, the machine moving on a work surface along a path, comprising:
a position sensor associated with the machine for generating position signals indicative of a position of the work surface; a controller configured to: store a loading profile; store a material volume threshold; store an evaluation cut length; receive position signals from the position sensor; determine the position of the work surface based upon the position signals; determine an initial cut location along the path based upon an initial target profile, the initial target profile having an initial cut length, the evaluation cut length being shorter than the initial cut length; determine a plurality of potential cut locations along the path; determine a volume of material to be moved for each of the plurality of potential cut locations, the volume of material to be moved being based upon the loading profile, the evaluation cut length, and the position of the work surface; and select the optimized cut location from one of the plurality of potential cut locations for which the volume of material exceeds the material volume threshold.
