Abstract
A system for maximizing productivity of a work vehicle is disclosed. The system includes a first sensor system that generates a first signal output indicative of a height of a material arranged forward of the work vehicle. A second sensor system generates a second signal output indicative of a position and height of a material transport blade coupled to the work vehicle. An actuator system configured to adjust the position and height of the material transport blade. An electronic data processor is communicatively coupled to each of the first sensor system, the second sensor system, and the actuator system. The electronic data processor determines a material flow rate based on the first and second signal outputs, and generates a command signal received by the actuator system to dynamically adjust a plurality of operating parameters associated with the material transport blade to maximize the material flow rate.
