Abstract: An unmanned vehicle control system includes a travel control unit that outputs a start command for starting the unmanned vehicle, and a management area setting unit that sets a management area where the unmanned vehicle is allowed to move when it is determined that the unmanned vehicle does not start in spite of the start command. The travel control unit outputs an escape command for causing the traveling device of the unmanned vehicle to perform an escape operation in a state where the unmanned vehicle is restricted from moving to the outside of the management area.

Abstract: A work machine, such as a wheel loader, operating in a worksite within a wireless control system includes an operator-specific configuration of machine settings associated with an identification for the operator. As the work machine executes a work function, the operator identification, an initial operator-specific configuration, and sensed performance metrics are transmitted to a control system for the worksite. Linking the operator identification to one or both of the initial operator-specific configuration and the metrics, the control system analyzes performance of the work machine by the operator with increased granularity and flags potential irregularities. A modified operator-specific configuration to change operator performance is returned to the work machine and made to override the initial operator-specific configuration when the operator next takes control of the work machine.

Abstract: A method for changing an orientation of a machine at a worksite includes controlling, by a controller, a movement of the machine from a first position to a second position along a first route; controlling, by the controller, a movement of the machine from the second position to a third position along a second route; and controlling, by the controller, a movement of the machine from the third position towards the first position along a third route, Each of the first route, the second route, and the third route define respective apexes and combinedly define a region therebetween. One or more of the apexes are directed inwards into the region.
