Abstract
Automatic/adaptive controls for large earthmoving equipment have been developed, and have proven to be effective in improving the performance of these machines while reducing the skill required of the operators. These controls speed up earthmoving tasks, make it easier for the machines to work at night, and contribute to lower construction costs. Controls suitable for motor graders, scrapers and bulldozers have been demonstrated.
