AN ARRANGEMENT FOR IMPROVING THE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF CEMENT MIXING TRUCK

摘要

A system (30) and method are provided for improving the operational performance of a moving cement mixer vehicle (10) with a rotatable mixing drum (20) by automatically stopping the rotation of the mixing drum at select moments. The system may include a sensor (40, 42, 44) adapted to deliver a signal indicative of an operational parameter, such as steering angle of the vehicle, and a processing unit (46) adapted to receive the signal from the sensor and deliver a control signal based on the signal for stopping rotation of the mixing drum.
