发明名称 Machine control system having autonomous dump queuing
摘要 A control system for use at a dump location having a plurality of dump sites is disclosed. The control system may have a control module associated with a mobile machine and a worksite controller. The worksite controller may be configured to receive a signal from the control module indicative of the mobile machine crossing a boundary at a dump location, and assign a travel route for the mobile machine based on the signal. The travel route may include a travel segment on a common entrance row, a first single-use path from the common entrance row to a particular one of the plurality of dump sites, a second single-use path from the particular one of the plurality of dump sites to a common exit row, and a travel segment on the common exit row. The worksite controller may be further configured to communicate the travel route to the control module as the mobile machine moves toward the dump location.

主权项 1. A control system for use at a dump location having a plurality of dump sites, the control system comprising: a control module associated with a mobile machine; and a worksite controller in communication with the control module, the worksite controller being configured to: receive as the mobile machine moves toward the dump location, a signal from the control module indicative of the mobile machine crossing a boundary associated with at the dump location;assign a travel route for the mobile machine based on the signal, the travel route including a travel segment on a common entrance row, a first single-use path from the common entrance row to a particular one of the plurality of dump sites, a second single-use path from the particular one of the plurality of dump sites to a common exit row, and a travel segment on the common exit row; andcommunicate the travel route to the control module as the mobile machine continuously moves toward the dump location.
