High Availability For Autonomous Machine Control System

摘要

A control system for a work site including an autonomous machine includes a central control system that includes a cluster of servers configured to execute an autonomous control server application on exactly one of the cluster of servers. A RAID system is in communication with the cluster of servers. A first switch interconnects a first network with the cluster of servers, and a second switch interconnects a second network with the cluster of servers. A UPS system interconnects a power source with the cluster of servers, the RAID system, and the first and second switches. The machine control system is communicatively coupled with the central control system via a wireless network and one of the first and second networks. The machine control system transmits machine position information to the autonomous control server application and receives a route plan generated by the autonomous control server application.
