Fleet management system for outdoor power equipment
TLDR
In this article, a fleet management system includes a connected lawn mower, including a prime mover, a mower blade, and a processing circuit including a processor and memory, and the processing circuit receives a cost input indicating an amount of money to complete a job, receives an on-site time for the job, and calculates an efficiency value for the connected mower.Abstract:
A fleet management system includes a connected lawn mower including a prime mover, a mower blade, and a processing circuit including a processor and memory The processing circuit receives a cost input indicating an amount of money to complete a job, receives an on-site time for the job, receives operational data from the connected lawn mower, including a prime mover runtime, calculates an efficiency value for the connected lawn mower based on the prime mover runtime and the on-site time, calculates a profitability value for the job based on at least the cost input and the on-site time, generates an efficiency report and profitability report for the connected unit based on the calculated efficiency and profitability values, and transmits the efficiency report and the profitability report to a computing systemread more

Patent
System and method for implementing pre-cognition braking and/or avoiding or mitigation risks among platooning vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, a system and a method for mitigating or avoiding risks due to hazards encountered by platooning vehicles is proposed, which involve interrogating, with one or more sensors, a space radially extending from a lead vehicle as the lead vehicle travels over the road surface, perceiving the environment within the space, ascertaining a hazard caused by an object in the space and causing a following vehicle, operating in a platoon with the leading vehicle, to take a preemptive braking action to avoid or mitigate risks resulting from the hazard caused in the environment.
