Abstract
A vehicle can include a chassis. The vehicle can include a body that can be supported by the chassis. The vehicle can include a tractive assembly. The vehicle can include a sprayer assembly that can apply a de-icing liquid to an airplane. The vehicle can include one or more sensors that can acquire data regarding an area of the airplane. The vehicle can include a display device. The vehicle can include a controller. The controller can determine a position of the sprayer assembly relative to the area of the airplane. The controller can cause the display device of the vehicle to present a user interface that includes a graphical representation of where the sprayer assembly will spray the de-icing liquid based on the position of the sprayer assembly relative to the area of the airplane.
Claims20
A vehicle for de-icing an airplane, the vehicle comprising:
- a chassis;
- a body supported by the chassis;
- a tractive assembly;
- a sprayer assembly configured to apply a de-icing liquid to the airplane;
- one or more sensors configured to acquire data regarding an area of the airplane;
- a display device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine a position of the sprayer assembly relative to the area of the airplane;
- and
- cause the display device of the vehicle to present a user interface that includes a graphical representation of where the sprayer assembly will spray the de-icing liquid based on the position of the sprayer assembly relative to the area of the airplane.
A vehicle comprising:
- a turntable;
- a lift arm movably coupled with the turntable;
