Patent Images
1. An avoidance system configured to track a cable tethered from a mobile earthmoving machine along a worksite during operation, the system comprising:
- a sensor system configured to periodically detect a position of the cable within the worksite and generate a position data set in response thereto; and
a controller associated with the sensor system, the controller configured to determine a cable avoidance region based on the position data set.

Abstract
An avoidance system for a mobile earthmoving machine is disclosed. The avoidance system includes a sensor system configured to periodically detect a position of a cable tethered from the machine within a worksite and generate a position data set in response thereto. A controller is associated with the sensor system and configured to determine a cable avoidance region based on the position data set.

13. A method for tracking a cable tethered from a mobile earthmoving machine along a worksite during operation, the method comprising:
-
guiding the cable along the worksite via at least one cable guide; determining a position of the at least one cable guide relative to the worksite; periodically detecting a position of the cable within the worksite and generating a position data set in response thereto; and determining a cable avoidance region based on the position data set. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
