Abstract: A snow groomer vehicle comprising:
at least one implement selected from: a blade and a tiller assembly;
at least one first detection device configured to define data by processing the areas of the environment behind the snow groomer and framed by said first detection device;
at least one satellite navigation device and/or a second detection device; wherein the second detection device is configured to define data by processing the areas of the environment in front of the snow groomer vehicle and framed by said device;
a control system including a processing unit configured to process the data from the satellite navigation device and/or from at least the second detection device and to define an objective map of a desired snow treatment;
the processing unit being configured to define at least one first desired implement configuration defined on the basis of an objective map in such a way that the passage of the implement causes the snowpack to change according to a desired conformation;
the processing unit being configured to determine a second optimal implement configuration on the basis of the first desired implement configuration and on the basis of the defined snow quality value; and
the processing unit being configured to perform at least one of the following two actions:
sending to a display screen the information of the optimal implement configuration in order to suggest to the operator how to act on the implement;
operate the actuator assembly and/or the speed of rotation of the implement and/or the working chamber of the implement so as to make the implement work in the second, determined optimal configuration.-

Abstract: A snow groomer vehicle includes a frame, a tool connected to the frame through a front connecting device equipped with an actuator assembly operable to determine a relative position of the tool with respect to the frame, a satellite navigation device and a control system. The control system includes a processing unit and a memory device, containing a target map representing a desired surface to be obtained by processing the snowpack over a region. The processing unit determines a position and orientation of the frame from the data provided with satellite navigation device and determines a configuration of the tool as a function of the position and orientation of the frame and of the target map, so that the passage of the tool causes a removal of the snowpack that conforms the snowpack to the target map. The actuator assembly is operated so as to bring the tool into the determined configuration.
