Abstract
A leading vehicle controls a following vehicle during a fill operation to change the positions of the two vehicles relative to one another. A control system generates a communication signal indicating that a position change operation that changes the position of the vehicles relative to one another is about to be executed. An operator display displays an indication of the position change operation prior to commencing the position change operation.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- performing an unloading operation to unload material from an unloading vehicle to a landing point in a receiving vehicle;
- detecting that a nudge operation is to be performed to change the landing point in the receiving vehicle;
- generating a nudge interface element indicating that the nudge operation is to be performed, wherein the nudge interface element renders an indicator of at least one characteristic of the nudge operation;
- and
- outputting the nudge interface element by an operator interface mechanism prior to performing the nudge operation.

An agricultural system, comprising:
- a nudge control system configured to detect that a nudge operation is to be performed to change a landing point, in a receiving vehicle, of material transferred from a transfer vehicle to the receiving vehicle during a transfer operation;
- an interface generation system configured to generate a nudge interface element indicating that the nudge operation is to be performed, wherein the nudge interface element renders an indicator of at least one characteristic of the nudge operation;
- and
- an output generator configured to output the nudge interface element by an operator interface mechanism prior to performing the nudge operation.
1 more element
A control system for an agricultural machine, the control system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the control system to:
- perform an unloading operation to unload material from an unloading vehicle to a landing point in a receiving vehicle;
- detect that a nudge operation is to be performed to change the landing point in the receiving vehicle;
- and
- generate a nudge interface element indicating that the nudge operation is to be performed, wherein the nudge interface element renders an indicator of at least one characteristic of the nudge operation;
- and
- outputting the nudge interface element prior to the nudge operation being performed.
