Work vehicle with a payload tracking system

Abstract:

A work vehicle for tracking a payload through a dump cycle having am implement, a volume sensor, a location tracker, an operation sensor, and a computing device. The volume sensor may be configured to sense a volume of material in the implement and generate a corresponding volume data signal. The location tracker may be configured to generate a location data signal indicative of the location of the implement. The operation sensor may be configured to detect an operation characteristic of a dump cycle of the implement and generate an operation data signal indicative of the operation characteristic. The computing device may be operable to execute a payload tracking algorithm to receive the volume data signal, the location data signal, the operation data signal, store the input signal to generate a tracking metric corresponding to the payload.
