Ground location of work truck

摘要

A vehicle tracking system tracks the position of at least one vehicle and displays the tracked position. The system includes a plurality of beacons, at least one provided on each vehicle, configured to emit a corresponding identifying signal. A camera is configured to generate image data including region data based on a region in which the vehicles may be located, and beacon data based on the identifying signals corresponding to the beacons located in the region. A controller is configured to process the beacon data to generate position data based on a corresponding position of the beacons located in the region and to generate identification data, which corresponds to each of the identifying signals emitted by the beacons located in the region. Also, the controller outputs at least one of the image data, the position data, and the identification data to the monitor.

1. A vehicle tracking system for tracking a position of at least one vehicle and outputting the position to a monitor, the vehicle tracking system comprising:
a plurality of beacons, each of said beacons configured to emit a corresponding identifying signal and at least one of said beacons provided on each of the vehicles; a camera configured to generate digital image data including (i) region data representative of a region in which the vehicles may be located and (ii) beacon data based on said identifying signals corresponding to said beacons located in said region; and a controller including virtual zone data based on a plurality of virtual zones in a field of view of said camera, said controller configured
(i) to process said beacon data to generate position data representative of a corresponding position of said beacons located in said region,(ii) to process said beacon data to generate identification data corresponding to each of said identifying signals emitted by said beacons located in said region,(iii) to generate active zone data in response to said position data indicating that at least one of the beacons is positioned in a virtual zone, and(iv) to output said image data and said active zone data, and at least one of said position data and said identification data to the monitor.
