Abstract
A target identification system identifies a plurality of possible target trucks for receiving material from a material transfer vehicle. The target identification system generates an output indicative of the possible target trucks to a selection system. The selection system processes one or more selection criteria and selects a target truck based on the selection criteria. A control signal is generated to control the material transfer vehicle based upon the selected target truck.
Claims20
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- automatically detecting a plurality of possible target haulage vehicles are available to receive harvested material from a material transfer vehicle;
- automatically selecting a selected target haulage vehicle, of the plurality of possible target haulage vehicles, to receive harvested material from the material transfer vehicle;
- and
- generating a control signal based on the selected target haulage vehicle.
An agricultural system, comprising:
- a multiple haulage vehicle identification system configured to automatically detect a plurality of possible target haulage vehicles available to receive harvested material from a material transfer vehicle;
- a target haulage vehicle selection system configured to automatically select a target haulage vehicle, of the plurality of possible target haulage vehicles, to receive harvested material from the material transfer vehicle;
- and
- a control signal generator configured to generate a control signal based on the selected target haulage vehicle.
An unloading target identification and selection system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method, comprising:
- automatically identifying a plurality of possible target haulage vehicles available to receive harvested material from a material transfer vehicle;
- automatically selecting a selected target haulage vehicle, of the plurality of possible target haulage vehicles, to receive harvested material from the material transfer vehicle;
- and
- generating a control signal based on the selected target haulage vehicle.
