Abstract: A machine may receive, from one or more sensors, first data indicating a first position of a work implement within an environment and second data indicating a second position of the work implement within the environment. Based on the first position and the second position, the machine may define a working area of the work implement. The machine may receive, from one or more cameras, image data depicting at least a portion of the environment and at least a portion an object disposed within a field of view of the one or more cameras. The machine may determine, based on the image data, that the object is located outside of the working area. Based on determining that the object is located outside of the working area, the machine may refrain from causing output of an alert indicating the presence of the object outside the working area.

Abstract: A machine may comprise a security monitoring system and an engine start/stop system (ESS) where the security monitoring system is configured to detect an object proximate to the machine and classify characteristics of the object and the ESS is configured to turn on an engine of the machine based at least in part on the characteristics of the object. The machine may further comprise a battery to supply power for operation of the security monitoring system and a charging system to charge the battery while the engine is turned on. The ESS may monitor a charge level of the battery, determine whether the charge level is below a preselected threshold start level, and in response to determining that the charge level is below the preselected threshold start level, turn on the engine based at least in part on the characteristics of the object.

Abstract: A maintenance-service system and method for controlling a machine that includes a plurality of operational modes is disclosed. The plurality of operational modes including a normal mode and a hazard detected mode. The maintenance-service system may comprise a controller configured to receive authorization data when machine is in the hazard detected mode, and enable movement of the machine at a reduced machine speed based on the authorization data, wherein the reduced machine speed is less than 50% of a normal machine speed available to the machine when the operational mode is the normal mode, wherein, the hazard detected mode precludes movement of the machine.
