System and method for detecting a crest

摘要

Abstract SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A CREST 5 A system for automated control of a machine (10) having a ground engaging work implement includes an implement load sensor system (36). A controller (31) determines a change in terrain based at least in part upon a change in the load on the ground engaging work implement. If the change in terrain exceeds a threshold, the controller generates an alert command signal. A method 10 is also provided.
