System, method, and computer software code for optimizing performance of a powered system
First Claim
1. A system to modify performance of a mining haul truck, the system comprising:
- a data device configured to provide current information about current operating conditions of the mining haul truck and prior information obtained from at least one prior haul cycle and based on learning the haul cycle of the mining haul truck;
a controller configured to control operation of the mining haul truck; and
a processor configured to provide at least one control command to the controller for use in operating the mining haul truck and/or user information with at least one recommended command to a user to control the mining haul truck, wherein the at least one control command and/or user information are based at least in part on the current information and the prior information, wherein the processor is configured to obtain prior information about the at least one prior haul cycle of the mining haul truck and determine at least one parameter for at least one current haul cycle based on the obtained information about the at least one prior haul cycle, wherein the at least one parameter is used for controlling the mining haul truck during the at least one current haul cycle.

Abstract
A system to optimize performance of a powered system, the system including a data device configured to provide current information about current operating conditions of the powered system and/or prior information about the powered system, a controller configured to control operation of the powered system, and a processor configured to provide at least one control command to the controller for use in operating the powered system and/or user information with at least one recommended command to a user to control the powered system, wherein the at least one control command and/or user information are based at least in part on the current information and/or the prior information. A system and computer software code, stored on a computer readable media and executable with a processor, are also disclosed.

8. A computer software code stored on a computer readable media and executable with a processor for modifying performance of a mining haul truck, the computer software code comprising:
-
a computer software module for determining a performance target for the mining haul truck, when executed with the processor; a computer software module for comparing the performance target to an actual operating parameter of the mining haul truck, when executed with the processor; a computer software module for modifying an actual performance of the mining haul truck to achieve the performance target, when executed with the processor; and a computer software module for obtaining information from at least one prior haul cycle of the mining haul truck based on learning the haul cycle of the mining haul truck and determining at least one parameter for at least one current haul cycle based on the obtained information about the prior haul cycle, wherein the at least one parameter is used for controlling the mining haul truck during the at least one current, haul cycle. - View Dependent Claims (9)
