Snowgroomer and method for controlling a snowgroomer

A management system comprising:

• a snow groomer vehicle comprising:
• a frame;
• two tracks;
• a drive unit connected to the two tracks and configured to move the snow groomer vehicle;
• a working device connected to the frame by a connecting device, the working device selected from a winch, a tiller assembly and a shovel;
• a control device configured to control at least one parameter of the snow groomer vehicle selected from:
• a speed of the snow groomer vehicle, a number of revolutions of the drive unit, a switching on of a light assembly of the snow groomer vehicle, a setting of the tiller assembly, a setting of the winch, a setting of the shovel, a position of the shovel with respect to three Cartesian axes, a setting of the snow groomer vehicle, a setting of a suspension of the snow groomer vehicle, a message to be sent on a display screen of the snow groomer vehicle, a setting of a speed limit, a setting of an alarm, a warning concerning driving a direction associated with entering a critical area, a warning of a risk of collision with an object, a distance indicator to another snow groomer vehicle during operation of a fleet snow groomer vehicles, a direction of rotation of a shaft of the tiller assembly, a depth of cut of the tiller assembly, an angle of cut of the tiller assembly, a position of the tiller assembly along a vertical axis, a mode of adjusting the position of the tiller assembly along the vertical axis, a mode in which the tiller assembly exerts a designated pressure on a snowpack, a mode in which the tiller assembly is in a floating position, a volume of a working chamber of the tiller assembly, a position of the tiller assembly with respect to a horizontal plane, and a mode of adjusting the position of the tiller assembly with respect to the horizontal plane;
• a radio communication unit coupled to the control device and configured to receive external data and provide the external data to the control device;
• a user interface comprising at least one drive control configured to receive control instructions from an operator relating to the at least one parameter of the snow groomer vehicle, the user interface being coupled to the control device and configured to send the control instructions to the control device;
• and
• a position detector configured to detect a position of the snow groomer vehicle, the position detector being coupled to the control device and configured to send the detected position to the control device,
• wherein the control device is configured to control, in a first operating mode, the at least one parameter based on the control instructions received via the user interface, the external data received via the radio communication unit, and the position detected via the position detector;
• a communication unit housed in a device remote from the snow groomer vehicle, wherein the communication unit is configured to be in communication with the radio communication unit of the snow groomer vehicle;
• and
• a processing unit comprising a memory configured to store:
• data relating to a map, data relating to at least one area of the map, and data associated with the at least one parameter of the snow groomer vehicle relative to the at least one area of the map, the processing unit configured to send, via the communication unit, the data relating to the map, the data relating to the at least one area of the map, and the data associated with the at least one parameter of the snow groomer vehicle relative to the at least one area of the map to the snow groomer vehicle.

A method comprising:

• checking at least one parameter of a snow groomer vehicle comprising a frame, two tracks, a drive unit connected to the two tracks to move the snow groomer vehicle, a working device connected to the frame by a connecting device and being selected from a winch, a tiller assembly and a shovel, the at least one parameter selected from:
• a speed of the snow groomer vehicle, a number of revolutions of the drive unit, a switching on of a light assembly of the snow groomer vehicle, a setting of the tiller assembly, a setting of the winch, a setting of the shovel, a position of the shovel with respect to three Cartesian axes, a setting of the snow groomer vehicle, a setting of a suspension of the snow groomer vehicle, a message to be sent on a display screen of the snow groomer vehicle, a setting of a speed limit, a setting of an alarm, a warning concerning driving a direction associated with entering a critical area, a warning of a risk of collision with an object, a distance indicator to another snow groomer vehicle during operation of a fleet snow groomer vehicles, a direction of rotation of a shaft of the tiller assembly, a depth of cut of the tiller assembly, an angle of cut of the tiller assembly, a position of the tiller assembly along a vertical axis, a mode of adjusting the position of the tiller assembly along the vertical axis, a mode in which the tiller assembly exerts a designated pressure on a snowpack, a mode in which the tiller assembly is in a floating position, a volume of a working chamber of the tiller assembly, a position of the tiller assembly with respect to a horizontal plane, and a mode of adjusting the position of the tiller assembly with respect to the horizontal plane;
• receiving external data via a radio communication unit;
• receiving control instructions from an operator related to the at least one parameter of the snow groomer vehicle;
• detecting the position of the snow groomer vehicle;
• and
• controlling, in a first operating mode, the at least one parameter based on the control instructions, the external data and the detected position.
