Abstract
A work machine has a plurality of different control systems. Each control system generates a request or control signal to control a controllable subsystem. A control supervisor selects which of the plurality of control systems is to control the controllable subsystem and provides feedback to the plurality of control systems indicating which of the plurality of control systems has been selected and a current control signal value. A time-based transition constraint processing system generates a time-based transition constraint that is used to control the transition from the current control signal value generated by the first control system, of the plurality of control systems, and to the selected control signal value generated by the selected control system. The selected control system controls the controllable subsystem based upon the time-based transition constraint.
