Machine control system having autonomous resource queuing

摘要

A control system is disclosed for use with a plurality of mobile machines operating at a worksite having a resource. The control system may have a worksite controller configured to divide a common travel path into a plurality of segments, including at least a spot segment at the resource and a stage segment. The worksite control may further be configured to receive a first input indicative of a desire for a first of the plurality of mobile machines to leave the spot segment, and to direct the first of the plurality of mobile machines out of the spot segment based on the first input. The worksite controller may be further configured to receive first location information for the first of the plurality of mobile machines, and to direct the second of the plurality of mobile machines from the stage segment into the spot segment based on the first location information.

1. A control system for use with a plurality of mobile machines operating at a worksite having a resource, the control system comprising:
a plurality of control modules, each associated with one of the plurality of mobile machines; and a worksite controller in communication with the plurality of control modules, the worksite controller being configured to:
divide a common travel path of the plurality of mobile machines into a plurality of virtual segments, including at least a spot segment at the resource in which one of the plurality of mobile machines can be loaded, a stage segment in which one of the plurality of mobile machines can wait to be loaded, and a queue segment in which one of the plurality of mobile machines can wait to be directed to the stage segment;receive a first input from an operator of the resource indicative of a desire for a first of the plurality of mobile machines to leave the spot segment;instruct a first of the plurality of control modules associated with the first of the plurality of mobile machines to direct the first of the plurality of mobile machines out of the spot segment based on the first input;receive first location information for the first of the plurality of mobile machines from the first of the plurality of control modules; andinstruct a second of the plurality of control modules associated with a second of the plurality of mobile machines to direct the second of the plurality of mobile machines out of the stage segment into the spot segment based on the first location information.
