Abstract
A BEIM (Built Environment Information Model)-based control system (CS) for controlling an earthmoving machine (E) is disclosed. The control system includes at least one controller (CO) for controlling at least one movement of an earthmoving tool (3) attached to the earthmoving machine, at least one control unit (CU), and sensing means (11, 12) for providing the control unit with position data of the earthmoving tool and a carrier (1) of the earthmoving machine with respect to the BEIM. The control system also includes at least one displaying means for displaying at least one BEIM selectable by the at least one controller. An earthmoving machine and a method for controlling an earthmoving machine are also disclosed.

A BEIM-based control system for controlling an earthmoving machine, the earthmoving machine comprising at least one controller for controlling at least one movement of an earthmoving tool attached to the earthmoving machine, the BEIM-based control system comprising:
- at least one controller for controlling at least one movement of an earthmoving tool attached to the earthmoving machine;
- at least one control unit;
- a sensor for providing the control unit with position data of the earthmoving tool and a carrier of the earthmoving machine with respect to the BEIM;
- and
- at least one displaying means for displaying at least one BEIM selectable by the at least one controller, wherein the at least one control unit is configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving at least one selection from the at least one controller for selecting the BEIM to work with;
- receiving at least one work command regarding the BEIM selected;
- monitoring a progress of the work regarding the work command received;
- and
- based at least in part on the monitoring, carrying out the work command received, or interrupting, by the at least one control unit, the work command received, the at least one controller being operable both attached and detached, the BEIM comprising an earthmoving information model based on at least one of Geospatial Information System, Building Information Modelling, Infrastructure Building Information Modelling, Civil Information Model and SmartCity Platform.
An earthmoving machine, the earthmoving machine comprising:
- a movable carrier;
- at least one earthmoving tool that is movable in relation to the carrier;
- at least one controller for controlling at least one movement of the at least one earthmoving tool attached to the earthmoving machine;
- peripheral devices;
- actuating means for moving the earthmoving tool in relation to the carrier and means for controlling the peripheral devices;
- and
- at least one BEIM-based control system, the BEIM-based control system comprising:
- at least one control unit;
- a sensor for providing the control unit with position data of the earthmoving tool and a carrier of the earthmoving machine with respect to the BEIM;
- and
- at least one displaying means for displaying at least one BEIM selectable by the at least one controller, wherein the at least one control unit is configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving at least one selection from the at least one controller for selecting the BEIM to work with;
- receiving at least one work command regarding the BEIM selected;
- monitoring a progress of the work regarding the work command received;
- and
- based at least in part on the monitoring, carrying out the work command received, or interrupting, by the at least one control unit, the work command received, the at least one controller being operable both attached and detached, the BEIM comprising an earthmoving information model based on at least one of Geospatial Information System, Building Information Modelling, Infrastructure Building Information Modelling, Civil Information Model and SmartCity Platform.
A method for controlling an earthmoving machine, the earthmoving machine comprising at least one controller for controlling at least one movement of an earthmoving tool attached to the earthmoving machine, the earthmoving machine controlled with a BEIM-based control system comprising:
- at least one controller for controlling movements of an earthmoving tool attached to the earthmoving machine;
- at least one control unit;
- a sensor for providing the control unit with position data of the tool and a carrier of the earthmoving machine;
- and
- at least one displaying means for displaying at least one BEIM selectable by the at least one controller, the method further comprising:
- receiving selection from the at least one controller for selecting the BEIM to work with;
- receiving at least one work command regarding the BEIM selected;
- monitoring a progress of the work regarding the work command received, and selectably;
- and
- carrying out the work command received, or interrupting the work command received, wherein the at least one controller is operable both attached and detached, the BEIM comprising an earthmoving information model based on at least one of Geospatial Information System, Building Information Modelling, Infrastructure Building Information Modelling, Civil Information Model and SmartCity Platform.
