SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WORKSITE ROUTE MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A haul-route management system for a machine operating at a worksite, the system comprising:
- a first sensor module configured to generate a signal indicative of a current position of the machine at the worksite; and
a route control module communicably coupled to the first sensor module, the route control module configured to;
receive the signal indicative of the current position of the machine;
receive a signal indicative of a predetermined path associated with the machine on at least one of a per cycle and a material basis;
segment a current path of the machine based, at least in part, on predetermined boundaries;
compare the segmented current path with corresponding data points on the predetermined path;
determine if a deviation from the predetermined path is present in at least one portion of the current path based on the comparison; and
provide a notification of the deviation if the deviation lies outside of a predetermined range.

Abstract
A haul-route management system is provided. The system includes a first sensor module configured to generate a signal indicative of a current position of a machine at the worksite. The system also includes a route control module configured to receive the signal indicative of the current position of the machine. The route control module receives a signal indicative of a predetermined path associated with the machine. The route control module segments a current path of the machine based on predetermined boundaries. Further, the route control module compares the segmented current path with corresponding data points on the predetermined path. The route control module determines if a deviation from the predetermined path is present in at least one portion of the current path based on the comparison. The route control module provides a notification of the deviation if the deviation lies outside of a predetermined range.
