A vehicle () comprising a working equipment () equipped with a movable loading arrangement () comprising a first attachment member (), said vehicle further comprises a sensor system () configured to capture environmental data reflecting the environment around the vehicle and to determine, based on said data, image data () representing an area at least partly surrounding the vehicle (). The sensor system () is configured to detect and track positions of the first attachment member () and a mating second attachment member () of the object () to load in said image data representation, and, the detected and tracked positions of the first and second attachment members () are used to generate a first set of operation instructions for the loading arrangement () of the working equipment that decreases the distance between said first and second attachment members such that said attachment members () come into position to engage to each other. The control unitis configured to verify that said attachment members () are engaged based on the detected and tracked positions from the sensor system (), and in response to verifying that said attachment members () are engaged, enable activation of an object loading mode in which the control system generates a second set of operation instructions for the working equipment to move the loading arrangement () so that the object to load is loaded on the vehicle.

Vehicle comprising a working equipment, and a working equipment, and a method in relation thereto

A driver assistance system () for a vehicle () provided with a crane () for loading or unloading objects (), the system comprises: a control unit () configured to generate a presentation signal () to be applied to a display unit (), an object detecting device () configured to capture images of the vehicle and/or of the environment around the vehicle, and configured to generate an image data signal () comprising data representing captured images, and to apply said signal () to said control unit (). The control unit () is configured to: &#x2014;determine a three dimensional, 3D, representation of at least one object, being a part of the vehicle and/or being at least one object () in the environment around the vehicle, based upon images captured by said object detecting device (), &#x2014;determine a 3D representation of the environment around the vehicle, &#x2014;determine a predetermined alert condition measure related to said determined 3D representations, wherein if said alert condition measure fulfils at least one of a set of predetermined alert criteria, the control unit is configured initiate at least one responsive activity of a set of predetermined responsive activities.

Driver assistance system and a method

A vehicle, equipment for loading a load carrying device onto the vehicle, and a sensor that determines a deviation angle between longitudinal axes of the vehicle and load carrying device. A control compares the deviation angle to a maximum deviation angle, and if less than maximum deviation angle a loading procedure is performed, which procedure includes engaging a loading tool with an attachment part at an end of the load carrying device; lifting the end by the loading tool while another end of the load carrying device is on the ground; adjusting the vehicle position to decrease the deviation angle while the working equipment lifts the end of the load carrying device; monitoring the deviation angle during adjustment, comparing the deviation angle to a threshold deviation angle, and moving the load carrying device onto the vehicle in response to the deviation angle being less than the threshold deviation angle.

Working unit, a working equipment, and a method in relation to a working unit

A vehicle () comprising at least one working unit () and a vehicle control system () comprising control units for controlling the vehicle to work in accordance with one or many working procedures. The vehicle is provided with a plurality of sensor units () configured to generate a sensor signal (). Each control unit () is configured to determine control signals () to control its working unit (), and the control unit designated to the vehicle is configured to determine control signals to control the vehicle, and also to determine control signals () for controlling at least one of the other working units () or the vehicle, and specifically to determine control signals () capable of controlling steps of a working procedure. At each point in time one of the control units is a master control unit being the control unit that is responsible for controlling its own working unit () and also at least one other working unit (), and that at least two control units () are configured to be a master control unit. A determination procedure is provided to continuously determine if handover to another control unit, then being the new master control unit, should be made, and enabling the new master control unit to take control in accordance with the current working procedure if handover has been determined.
