Graphical user interface for real-time management of an earth shaping vehicle

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for managing a material moving routine in a site encoded thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• generate a graphical user interface displaying a three-dimensional representation of the site comprising a position of a vehicle capable of moving material within the site and a target location within the site for the vehicle to move material and a representation of a planned movement of a tool overlaying the representation of the site, the representation of the planned movement divided into a plurality of segments, wherein each segment of the plurality of segments represents a portion of the planned movement of the tool;
• transmit, to a controller of the vehicle, a set of instructions to cause the vehicle to move a volume of material from the target location;
• as the vehicle moves material from the target location based on the set of instructions:
• receive data recorded by one or more sensors mounted to the vehicle describing a current depth of the target location, a current volume of material moved from the target location, a position of the vehicle relative to the target location, a location of a pile of material, and a height of the pile of material;
• modify, based on the data recorded by the one or more sensors, the graphical user interface to display the current depth of the target location, the position of the vehicle relative to the target location, the location of the pile of material, and the height of the pile of material;
• and
• modify the set of instructions based on the received data recorded by the one or more sensors and providing the modified set of instructions to the vehicle.

A system for managing a material moving routine in a site, the system comprising:

• a vehicle capable of moving material within the site positioned within the site and comprising one or more sensors mounted to the vehicle and a controller of the vehicle, wherein the one or more sensors record data describing the site;
• and
• a computing device communicatively coupled to the vehicle, the computing device comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• generate a graphical user interface displaying a three-dimensional representation of the site comprising a position of the vehicle capable of moving material within the site and a target location within the site for the vehicle to move material and a representation of a planned movement of a tool overlaying the representation of the site, the representation of the planned movement divided into a plurality of segments, wherein each segment of the plurality of segments represents a portion of the planned movement of the tool;
