Abstract
A process for developing machine classification systems includes using human experts to associate expected operations with various machine states including drawbar pull, tool position, tool commands, gear, and ground speed, among others, to create a classification system that can be used in a particular machine. The classification system operates in real time to infer operations such as dig, dump, travel, and push from machine state inputs and logs the operations for use in operational analysis and maintenance of the machine.
