Low Latency, Video Remote Amphibian Backhoe Controller System

当行业需要在偏远、不受欢迎的地形进行挖掘时，反铲作业人员面临的风险非常高。在陡峭或不平坦的坡度上操纵是导致事故的主要原因，即使是非常有经验的操作员。一种用于两栖和全地形反铲挖掘机的低延迟视频远程控制系统将使加拿大农村建筑设备供应商Great Excavations Inc. （GE）为其操作人员提供更安全的条件。通用电气正在利用该项目的成果为车辆远程驾驶中心建立技术基础。南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）创新信息技术解决方案中心（CIITS）将与通用电气合作开发一种技术，该技术将为两栖/全地形施工车辆的操作建立新的行业安全标准。操作人员将更加安全，因为他们不再面临沉没和/或倾覆的直接风险。由于驾驶员不需要前往偏远的地形现场，因此反铲作业效率更高，成本更低。该原型车将减少全地形车辆驾驶员的后勤挑战和安全问题。这对农村建设行业来说是一个新颖的解决方案。

When industry needs to perform an excavation in a remote, uninviting terrain, the risk to the backhoe operator is very high. Maneuvering on steep or uneven grades is a leading cause of accidents for even very experienced operators. A low latency, video remote control system for amphibious and all-terrain backhoes will allow Canadian rural construction equipment supplier Great Excavations Inc. (GE) to provide safer conditions for their operators. GE is building a technological foundation for a remote piloting hub for vehicles using the outcome of this project. The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Centre for Innovative Information Technology Solutions (CIITS) will work with GE to develop a technology that will establish a new industry safety standard for the operation of amphibious/all-terrain construction vehicles. Operators will be safer because they are no longer in direct risk of sinking and/or overturning. The backhoe work will be more efficient and cost effective because the driver will not need to travel to the remote terrain site. The prototype will reduce logistical challenges and safety issues for all-terrain vehicle pilots. This is novel solution for the rural construction industry.
