1. A control system for a mobile machine, the control system comprising:
- one or more sensors for generating machine state data; and
one or more computing devices configured to—
determine a first segment and a second segment of an operating path of the machine, the first segment and the second segment being consecutive segments of the operating path, anduse the machine state data to determine a first optimal speed for a first portion of a turn maneuver between the first segment and the second segment of the operating path and a second optimal speed for a second portion of the turn maneuver, the turn maneuver being a transition between the first segment and the second segment of the operating path and not forming a part of the operating path.

Abstract
A control system for a mobile machine includes one or more sensors for generating machine state data and one or more computing devices. The one or more computing devices are configured to determine a first segment and a second segment of an operating path of the machine and to use the machine state data to determine an optimal speed for a turn maneuver between the first segment and the second segment of the operating path. The one or more computing devices may further be configured to determine a first optimal speed for a first portion of the turn maneuver and a second optimal speed for a second portion of the turn maneuver.

9. A control system for a mobile machine, the control system comprising:
- one or more computing devices configured to—
determine a first optimal speed for a first portion of a turn maneuver between a first segment and a second segment of an operating path and a second optimal speed for a second portion of the turn maneuver, the first segment and the second segment being consecutive segments of the operating path, and the turn maneuver being a transition between the first segment and the second segment of the operating path and not forming a part of the operating path, guide the machine through the turn maneuver at the optimal speeds, determine an adjusted optimal speed while guiding the machine through the turn maneuver, and adjust the speed of the machine during the turn maneuver to match the adjusted optimal speed. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
