| 93 | Uncommanded steering detection | US14755634 | 2015-06-30 | US09561820B2 | 2017-02-07 | Carl Moberg |
| Uncommanded steering detection in a machine can be performed by comparing commanded and actual steering positions of an electro-hydraulic steering cylinder along with a velocity of movement of the cylinder to understand a steering error and whether the actual steering position is moving toward the commanded steering position. A steering error, when above a predetermined threshold, may be cumulatively summed and, if the cumulative sum exceeds a predetermined limit, an alarm may be triggered and the machine may be forced to a safe state (slowed or stopped). The steering error for the actual steering position may be increased if the velocity of movement is not toward the commanded steering position so that the alarm will be triggered sooner. In either case, the response of the machine to steering uncommanded motion will be swifter when the uncommanded motion is more severe (greater error and/or steering in the wrong direction). | ||||||
| 94 | Four-wheel steering adjustable to sensitivity of operator controls | US14699002 | 2015-04-29 | US09550527B2 | 2017-01-24 | Nathan Brooks |
| A “dead-band” range may be provided for automatically selecting between two-wheel and four-wheel steering for an agricultural machine. When the machine is being steered minimally within a first band (within the dead-band range), such as in a straightaway path, two-wheel steering may be automatically selected. However, when the machine is being increasingly steered thereby reaching a second band (beyond the dead-band range), four-wheel steering may be automatically selected. An operator may monitor the state of the machine steering via a touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI) in the cabin. The operator may also adjust the dead-band range by increasing or decreasing sensitivity via the HMI. | ||||||
