Slippage condition response system
First Claim
1. A method of operating a worksite, the method comprising:
- monitoring a location of a first haul truck of a plurality of haul trucks located at a worksite;
monitoring a parameter indicative of a slippage condition of the first haul truck;
transmitting to an offboard system at least one location where the first haul truck experienced a slippage condition; and
dispatching a machine to repair the at least one slippage location at the worksite.

Abstract
A slippage condition response system for a first machine of a plurality of machines is disclosed. The response system may have a sensing system configured to sense a parameter indicative of a slippage condition of the first machine. Additionally, the response system may have a locator configured to sense a parameter indicative of a location of the first machine. The response system may also have a transmitter. In addition, the response system may have a controller, which may be in communication with the sensing system, the locator, and the transmitter. The controller may be configured to monitor the location of the first machine. The controller may also be configured to monitor the parameter indicative of a slippage condition of the first machine. Additionally, the controller may be configured to transmit to an offboard system at least one location where the first machine experienced a slippage condition.

8. A slippage condition response system for a first machine of a plurality of machines, the slippage condition response system comprising:
-
a sensing system configured to sense a parameter indicative of a slippage condition of the first machine; a locator configured to sense a parameter indicative of a location of the first machine; a transmitter; a receiver; a map; and a controller in communication with the sensing system, the locator, the transmitter, the receiver, and the map, the controller being configured to; monitor the location of the first machine; monitor the parameter indicative of a slippage condition of the first machine; transmit to an offboard system at least one location where the first machine experienced a slippage condition; receive from the offboard system at least one known slippage condition location where at least one of the plurality of machines experienced a slippage condition; store in the map the at least one known slippage condition location; and autonomously control the first machine based on the at least one known slippage condition location. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
