Abstract
A snow groomer vehicle includes an implement such as a blade and a tiller assembly, a first detection device configured to define data by processing areas of an environment behind the snow groomer; a satellite navigation device and/or a second detection device to define data by processing the areas of the environment in front of the snow groomer vehicle and framed by the second detection device; and a control system including a processing unit to process data from the satellite navigation device and/or the second detection device to define an objective map of a desired snow treatment. The processing unit defines a first desired implement configuration based on the objective map, determines a second optimal implement configuration based on the first desired configuration and a defined snow quality value. The processing unit further displays information, or operates, or makes the implement work based on the second determined optimal configuration.
