Benefits of technology
The invention provides a system and method for detecting and avoiding dangerous conditions on a mobile machine. The system includes a dangerous condition sensor and an interlock to limit the operation of the machine. The system can also communicate with a server and database to collect and store information regarding hazardous conditions, allowing for real-time detection and avoidance of potential dangers. The technical effect is to improve safety and reduce risk for mobile machines by identifying and addressing potential hazards in real-time.
Problems solved by technology
A brief lapse in vigilance can lead to an accident.
Tall machines such as cranes and aerial work platforms are subject to strong forces due to wind acting on the aerial structures of the machine.
When these forces become too large for safe operation of the machine, due to concern for tip-over, vibrations, or personnel getting blown off of an aerial platform, it is necessary cease machine operations and secure the machine against the wind.
A leading cause of death and injury among users of aerial work platforms and cranes is electrocution due to contact with high-voltage overhead power lines.

Embodiment Construction
[0023]Referring to the Figures, wherein like numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, a system 20 for detecting and avoiding dangerous conditions by a mobile machine 22 is disclosed.
[0024]As shown in FIG. 2, the system 20 includes a mobile machine 22 having a body 24 containing a powerplant 26. As shown in FIG. 1, the powerplant 26 is coupled to a drivetrain 28 for locomotion. The powerplant 26 may include, for example, one or more electric motors and / or an internal combustion engine. The drivetrain 28 may include a transmission, one or more drive shafts, clutches, etc. for moving the mobile machine 22. The drivetrain 28 may include wheels as shown in FIG. 1, although treads, legs, or other such devices conveying force to the ground may be used. The mobile machine 22 may alternatively have both fixed and moveable components such with a tower crane commonly used in the construction of large buildings. In such instances, the drivetrain 28 may be used, for ex...

A system for detecting and avoiding dangerous conditions by a mobile machine having a body, an actuated machine component, and a dangerous condition sensor including a non-contact electrical power sensor, a wind speed or direction sensor, a tilt sensor, or a terrain type sensor is provided. The system includes a supervisory controller located in the mobile machine and in communication with a server for communicating data objects storing information related to hazardous conditions, and for receiving information regarding hazardous conditions manually designated or detected by a remote source. An interlock limits operation of the mobile machine to prevent operation in an unsafe condition. Hazardous conditions are categorized as a danger condition, a limited-operation condition, and / or a warning condition. A user signaling device including audio and visual signaling devices alert an operator of a hazard. A method of detecting and avoiding dangerous conditions by the mobile machine is also provided.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This Utility Patent Application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 450,592 filed Jan. 26, 2017 entitled “SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT AND METHOD FOR MEASURMENTS” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND1. Field of the Invention[0002]A system and method for distributed sensing, communicating, and reacting to hazardous conditions by a mobile machine is provided.2. Description of the Prior Art[0003]Current methods for sensing, communicating, and reacting to hazardous conditions rely on the continuous vigilance of staff on a work site to set appropriate alerts to hazards and to enforce procedures to avoid those hazards. A brief lapse in vigilance can lead to an accident. Current systems and methods employ warning flags, signs, and fences with associated procedures, training and enforcement.[0004]Tall machines such as cranes and aerial work platforms are subject to strong forces...
