A computerized control system controls a hydraulic subsystem of an articulated dump truck. Among other possible equipment, the hydraulic subsystem controls the raising and lowering of the dump truck bed. The control system detects the speed of the dump truck. Upon the dump truck traveling at or above a predetermined speed, the control system controls the hydraulic subsystem to automatically lower the dump truck bed. In various aspects, the predetermined speed may be preprogrammed, may be programmable by the truck operator, or may be programmable only by certain personnel (e.g., changing the speed may require entry of a password). In one aspect, a manual override switch prevents automatic lowering of the dump truck bed when the dump truck travels at or above the predetermined speed. In one aspect, the switch is a “dead man” switch, requiring continuous activation to prevent the automatic lowering.

Systems and methods are described for creating dynamic displays of live events in real-time. A real-time display of a live performance will typically have a static presentation because there is no time for video editing to take place before the event is displayed to an end user. This static display may be considered less entertaining to viewers and cause them to view an event as uninteresting. The present disclosure enables a system to analyze the live event in real-time detect objects and people within the frame, associate sounds from the recording with the detected people and objects and generate video commands on the fly to implement on the video as it is displayed to an end user. This will enhance the presentation and make it more dynamic. There is a manual override for the generated commands if a user prefers to watch the more static display.
