Abstract:Improving safety and productivity of earthwork operations is of paramount importance, especially in congested sites where collisions are more probable. Automated Machine Guidance and Control technology is expected to improve both safety and productivity of earthwork operations by providing excavator operators with higher level of support regarding the path planning of excavators based on site conditions. However, in spite of the large number of studies related to automated path planning of excavators using wel… Show more
