Usage profile monitoring and feedback for track units of a work vehicle

Abstract

Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for usage profile monitoring with respect to ground-engaging track units of work vehicles, driven according to selected track commands. Respective usage values are ascertained corresponding to a duty cycle of the track unit operating at each of one or more selected track commands over a specified (e.g., rolling) time period, wherein the respective usage values are further scaled according to specified factors associated with the respective track commands. An output signal is generated corresponding to a determined intervention event, for example an alert to the operator based on a detected or predicted exceeding of a specified target, based at least in part on the scaled usage values. The specified target may, e.g., be based on a current estimated life state of the track unit relative to an estimated life cycle, or a specified total number of hours the track unit has been in operation.
