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: A worksite management system may include a worksite controller including one or more worksite controller processors configured to receive a signal indicative of a task to be performed by a machine at a worksite, identify a machine for performing the task, and generate a signal indicative of the machine. The worksite management system may also include a mobile device including one or more mobile device processors configured to receive the signal indicative of the machine, display an image representative of the machine, and display a prompt for a person at the worksite to validate availability of the machine to perform the task.

Abstract: A method of estimating productivity at a worksite includes receiving, with a controller, a worksite plan to be executed by a hauling machine, a spreading machine, and a compacting machine at the worksite, assigning, with the controller, the hauling machine, the spreading machine, and the compacting machine to implement tasks within the worksite plan based on respective capabilities of the hauling machine, the spreading machine and the compacting machine, receiving, with the controller, machine data from the hauling machine, the spreading machine and the compacting machine defining indication of completion of the tasks, and calculating, with the controller, a lift count based on the machine data.

Abstract: A method includes transmitting instructions to the first machine to perform a first task defined by the worksite plan, and transmitting instructions to the second machine to perform a second task defined by the worksite plan, the second task being different from the first task. A first production metric is received from a first sensor associated with the first machine during execution of the first task, and A second production metric is received from a second sensor associated with the second machine during execution of the second task, the second production metric being different from the first production metric. A percentage of completion of the worksite plan is defined based on a unifying production metric that is determined based at least in part on the first production metric and the second production metric.

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.
