CONTROL SYSTEM FOR WINTER MAINTENANCE VEHICLE
A control system for a vehicle is provided. In one aspect, the control system includes a sensing mechanism for detecting an amount of material dispensed. The detected amount is compared to a desired dispensing amount in a profile created based on a number of relevant factors. The output rate of the material is varied to minimize discrepancies between the detected output amount and the desired amount. In another aspect, the control system includes a sensor array for determining the positions of the plow blades and objects in the path of a snow removal vehicle. The sensor data is used to determine a potential for collision, in which case a signal is sent to vary the positions of one or more of the blades to minimize vehicle footprint and help to avoid a collision.
