Embodiment Construction

[0012] A parameter visualization system and a surface mapping system according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown in schematic diagrams in figure 1 are generally described with reference numeral 10. The parameter visualization and surface mapping system 10 includes a machine 11 and a computer system 12 . Such as figure 1 As shown, the parametric visualization and surface mapping system 10 may comprise multiple machines 11; however, for purposes of clarity and brevity, the parametric visualization and surface mapping system 10 will be described below with respect to a single machine unless expressly indicated otherwise. Although the disclosed embodiments contemplate computer system 12 being off-board machine 11 , computer system 12 may alternatively be partially or fully on-board machine 11 without departing from the scope of the present invention. Machine 11 may be any earth moving machine configured to traverse a work site including, but not limited to, unp...

Abstract

A parameter visualization system is disclosed that includes a controller configured to receive three-dimensional position data indicating a location of an earthmoving machine on a worksite, and to receive parameter information comprising values of a plurality of parameters. The plurality of parameters includes parameters of at least one of the earthmoving machine and the worksite. The controller is further configured to generate a first display signal configured to provide a value of a first parameter in the plurality of parameters, to receive a modification of the value of the first parameter, to calculate a value of a second parameter based on the modification of the value of the first parameter, and to generate a second display signal configured to provide a visual depiction of a value of at least one of the first parameter or the second parameter along a three-dimensional visual depiction of the worksite.

Description

technical field [0001] A parameter visualization system is disclosed. The system enables visualization of parameters of both an earthmoving machine and a worksite traversed by the earthmoving machine. Background technique [0002] The design of the physical worksite plays an important role in worksite efficiency. The operation and performance of machinery on the job site play an equally important role. Sub-optimal site design and sub-optimal machine operation and performance on the job site can lead to increased cycle times, wasted machine fuel, accelerated wear of machine parts, accelerated deterioration of site conditions, and other problems . Systems for visualizing and analyzing the operation and performance of machinery on and on the job site are useful tools for helping to reduce the frequency and severity of the aforementioned problems. [0003] US Patent 5,493,494 to Henderson discloses a method and apparatus for operating a compaction machine relative to a works...
