Managing landbases and machine operations performed thereon

摘要

A method for management of a land base includes interfacing a machine or equipment to a computer running a geographical information system (GIS) application such that the computer is configured to monitor the operations performed by the equipment or machine on the land base and store the operations as map points, lines, or polygons on at least one data layer within the GIS application. The method further includes displaying the GIS application to the operator at the point and time of performing the operations.

1. A method for management of a land base wherein operations are performed on the land base by an operator operating equipment, the method comprising:
interfacing the equipment to a computer running a geographical information system (GIS) application such that the computer is configured to monitor each occurrence of the operations using one or more machine sensors and store the operations as map points on at least one data layer within the GIS application; and displaying the GIS application and the operations as the map points to the operator at a location and time of performing the operations to assist the operator in operating the equipment by recording specific actions taken by the operator as detected by the one or more machine sensors; wherein the operations are mechanical operations individually and deliberately performed on the land base by the operator through manual control of the equipment; wherein the one or more machine sensors are positioned on the equipment to detect occurrence of the mechanical operations as the operator manually controls the equipment to perform the mechanical operations.
