Abstract: The disclosure describes technology that is related to mobile machines performing an automated mobilization task based on a mobilization command received from an electronic device that is separate from the mobile machines. The mobile machine may receive, from the electronic device, a mobilization command that instructs relocation of the mobile machine from an initial location to a final location. The mobile machine may traverse a path on a worksite that includes a series of locations extending from the initial location of the mobile machine to the final location. Furthermore, the mobile machine may determine its present position includes the final location, and, in response, send a relocation notification to the electronic device indicating that the mobilization task is completed.

Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for quarry and mining operation is configured to coordinate operation of a plurality of departing and arriving road trucks and loading machines. The road trucks may arrive and depart at a scale housing having a scale for weighing the trucks. The scale housing may be associated with a front end system that can communicate arrival and departure data with a backend system. The backend system can receive customer order data and generate job orders for the loading machines. The backend system can also associate the job orders with the arrival data upon arrival of the road truck.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a worksite plan to be executed by at least one machine at a worksite from a computing device of a supervising entity, the controller being located at a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) location with respect to the worksite. The worksite plan may include a boundary of the worksite at which the worksite plan is implemented, at least one task defining the worksite plan, and a selection of at least one machine to perform the task. The method may include receiving a validation signal from a device located at the worksite, the validation indicating that the worksite is ready for implementation of the worksite plan based on at least one parameter of worksite readiness. The method may include selecting a first mode of operation of the machine to perform the task and transmitting first instructions to the machine to perform the task based on the first mode of operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for optimal utilization of machines for performing tasks across a predetermined area. A request may be received to initiate a job on a predetermined area, the job comprising a plurality of tasks associated with a plurality of machines. In response to the request, a first machine of the plurality of machines may be deployed to the predetermined area to execute a first task of the plurality of tasks autonomously. A deployment event may be determined based on characteristics of the first machine and a second machine, and based on characteristics of the predetermined area. The second machine to the predetermined area, upon detection of the deployment event, to execute a second task of the plurality of tasks autonomously.

Abstract: A system, method, and device for electronically providing paving information for paving quality and control actions comprises receiving paving information at a first computer or processor, which can host an application to perform some or all of the paving quality and control actions. The paving information can include one or more electronic work tickets associated with respective paving material dump spots. The paving information can be displayed on a display if an electronic device associated with the first computer or processor. The first computer or processor can also receive paving quality and control information responsive to one or more inputs to the electronic device. The paving quality and control information can be output to another electronic device for consideration.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a material plant management system, check-in data for a haul truck that has checked into a material plant, the check-in data including a haul truck identifier and a check-in time. The method further includes receiving, from the material plant management system, scale ticket data including a destination of the haul truck and a check-out time at which the haul truck exits the material plant with a load of material, sending, via a network, the scale ticket data to a haul truck management system associated with the haul truck and a worksite management system associated with the destination, determining, based on the check-out time and the destination, an estimated time of arrival representing a time at which the haul truck will reach the destination, and providing, via the network, the estimated time of arrival to the haul truck management system and the worksite management system.
