Abstract
A detector detects an overall fill level of a receiving vehicle. A mobile device on the receiving vehicle includes a mobile application that receives and displays the overall fill level of the receiving vehicle. The overall fill level can be overlaid on a geographic map that shows locations of multiple receiving vehicles, in which case an overall fill level indicator for each receiving vehicle is displayed on the geographic map as well.
Claims16
A material moving system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a geographic map generation system, implemented by the one or more processors, configured to generate a geographic map of an operational geographic area in which a material moving operation is performed by a plurality of different receiving vehicles operate and one or more filling vehicles, the map including a plurality of fields, a road, and a material drop off location, the material drop off location separate from the plurality of fields;
- an overlay generation system, implemented by the one or more processors, configured to:
- receive a geographic location value identifying a geographic location of each receiving vehicle of the plurality of different receiving vehicles;
- generate a receiving vehicle display element for each receiving vehicle of the plurality of different receiving vehicles;
- and
- integrate each receiving vehicle display element at the geographic location of the corresponding receiving vehicle on the geographic map;
- a fill level display generator, implemented by the one or more processors, configured to:
- receive an overall fill level for each of the plurality of different receiving vehicles from a respective fill level detection system on a respective filling vehicle;
- generate an overall fill level display element for each receiving vehicle of the plurality of different receiving vehicles;
- and
- integrate each overall fill level display element proximate to the receiving vehicle display element of the corresponding receiving vehicle on the geographic map;
- and
- a mobile application configured to be run on each of a plurality of different mobile devices, each different mobile device of the plurality of different mobile devices on a corresponding one of the plurality of different receiving vehicles and configured to generate a display that includes the geographic map with the receiving vehicle display elements and the overall fill level display elements.

A material moving system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a geographic map generation system, implemented by the one or more processors, configured to generate a geographic map of an operational geographic area where a material moving operation is performed in which one or more material filling vehicles are operating and in which a plurality of different receiving vehicles are operating, the map including a plurality of fields, a road, and a material drop off location, the material drop off location separate from the plurality of fields;
- a vehicle display generator, implemented by the one or more processors, configured to:
- receive a plurality of geographic location values, each geographic location value, of the plurality of geographic location values, identifying a geographic location of one of the plurality of different receiving vehicles;
- generate a separate receiving vehicle display element for each of the plurality of different receiving vehicles;
- and
- integrate each separate receiving vehicle display element into the geographic map at the geographic location of the corresponding receiving vehicle;
- a fill level display generator, implemented by the one or more processors, configured to:
- receive an overall fill level for each of the plurality of different receiving vehicles;
- generate a separate overall fill level display element for each of the plurality of different receiving vehicles;
- and
- integrate each separate overall fill level display element into the geographic map;
- and
- a display device that displays the geographic map with the receiving vehicle display elements and the overall fill level display elements.
