Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of controlling an articulated machine having a first frame and a second frame and travelling on a ground surface is provided. The method includes receiving a speed signal indicative of a speed of the articulated machine through a speed sensor by a controller. The method includes receiving an inclination signal indicative of an inclination of the ground surface through an inclination sensor by the controller. The method further includes receiving a payload signal indicative of a payload carried by the articulated machine through a payload sensor by the controller. The controller controls a hoisting of the second frame with respect to the first frame based on at least one of the speed signal, the inclination signal and the payload signal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method of controlling an articulated machine, the articulated machine having a first frame and a second frame and travelling on a ground surface, the method comprising: receiving, by a controller through a speed sensor, a speed signal indicative of a speed of the articulated machine; receiving, by the controller through an inclination sensor, an inclination signal indicative of an inclination of the ground surface; receiving, by the controller through a payload sensor, a payload signal indicative of a payload carried by the articulated machine; and controlling, using the controller, a hoisting of the second frame with respect to the first frame based on at least one of the speed signal, the inclination signal and the payload signal. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling the hoisting comprises preventing the hoisting of the second frame if the speed of the articulated machine is greater than a predetermined threshold speed, the predetermined threshold speed is defined to prevent a rolling over of the articulated machine. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling the hoisting comprises limiting the hoisting of the second frame based on the inclination of the ground surface. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling the hoisting comprises preventing the hoisting of the second frame based on a relative position of the second frame with respect to the first frame and the payload carried by the articulated machine.
