Systems and methods for operating snow wings of motor graders

A grading machine comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicably coupled to the one processor, the memory comprising computer executable instructions, when executed by the processor, to:
• receive information regarding material on a surface, wherein the grading machine is configured to travel on the surface and move the material on the surface;
• determine a set of parameters for operating the grading machine, wherein the set of parameters include an articulation angle of the grading machine and a moldboard angle of a moldboard of the grading machine, wherein the articulation angle is formed by a center axis of the grading machine and a shifted axis of the grading machine;
• position a snow wing from a first position to a second position and the moldboard of the grading machine based on the set of parameters such that the snow wing has a predetermined spatial relationship with the moldboard, wherein the second position is determined at least based on the articulation angle, wherein the snow wing is dynamically positioned relative to the moldboard based on a result of continuous monitoring of the articulation angle during an operation of the snow wing;
• and
• operate the grading machine based on the set of parameters.
