Bradbury,Craig L. Koehrsen,Christos T Kyrtsos,Norman K Lay,Joel L. Peterson,Larry E. Schmidt,Darrell E. Stafford,Louis J. Weinbeck,Lonnie J. Devier +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus and method for navigating a vehicle along a predetermined route using route data and path data to define the predetermined route is presented, where the path data includes postures of the vehicle along each of the path segments.
Patent
System and method for detecting obstacles in the path of a vehicle
Gary K. Shaffer,William Whittaker,Jay H. West,Richard G. Clow,Sanjiv Singh,Norman K Lay,Lonnie J. Devier +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system for positioning and navigating an autonomous vehicle (310) allows the vehicle to travel between locations using global positioning system satellites (200, 202, 204, and 206) or other sources (624) when the satellites are not in the view of the vehicle.
Patent
Method and apparatus for displaying an excavation to plan
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for providing a display in real time of an excavation site having underground objects is presented, which includes determining a location of an earthworking machine in site coordinates, determining the location of a earth working implement relative to the earth working machine, and responsively inputting the locations of the at least one underground object to a terrain map of the excavation site, and displaying the terrain map including the location and position of the earth worker in real-time.
Patent
Multi-tasked navigation system and method for an autonomous land based vehicle
