The Managing Editor of Biosystems Engineering, Dr Steve Parkin, has kindly summarised some of the papers published in the last three issues which he thinks may be of interest to IAgrE members Biosystems Engineering Volume 113, Issue 3, November 2012, Pages 284-297 A distributed control framework for motion coordination of teams of autonomous agricultural vehicles Stavros G. Vougioukas University of California, Davis, CA, USA A distributed control framework, intended to coordinate the motions of teams of autonomous agricultural vehicles operating in proximity is presented; master- slave and peer-to-peer operation modes are supported. Each vehicle has a nonlinear model predictive tracking controller, which keeps it as close as possi- ble to the path demanded by the task, and coordinates and avoids collisions with nearby vehicles. Simulation experiments have shown that the minimisa- tion of the tracking error along a finite horizon enabled the controller to track paths containing sharp turns, by applying appropriate steering well in advance of the turn. It has also been shown that vehicles can move in both operating modes, coordinate with nearby vehicles by altering their velocity profiles or the shapes of their paths, and avoid collisions.

  • Prescribed Burn Equipment
    Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service NREM-2899 Prescribed Burn Equipment November 2016 John R. Weir Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Fact Sheets Research Associate, Natural Resource Ecology and Management, are also available on our website at: Oklahoma State University http://osufacts.okstate.edu R. Seth Coffey Graduate Research Assistant, Natural Resource Ecology and Man- agement, Oklahoma State University Carol E. Blocksome Research Assistant Professor, Horticulture and Natural Resources, Kansas State University Morgan L. Russell Extension Range Specialist, Ecosystem Science and Manage- ment, Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service Dirac Twidwell Assistant Professor, Department of Agromony and Horticulture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Introduction Having proper or adequate equipment on a prescribed fire is just as important as writing burn plans, firebreak prepa- rations or having the correct weather conditions. Oftentimes, burn managers will make equipment checklists prior to the burn; ensuring all needs have been met. Equipment may range from what the crew should wear to the type of pumper unit one might have on a fire. In planning a prescribed burn, one of the most important steps is considering what equipment is needed to properly protect the burn crew and contain the fire. There is no standard equipment list for conducting a burn. However, it is important to consider all equipment that could be used to make the prescribed burn safer and easier. When determining what equipment is needed it is best to go by the adage of “better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.” Always remember no two burns are the same and each burn can require different pieces of equipment.

  • Constructing Fireline (Wildland) Page 1 Developed by Engineer John Sanfilippo September 2011 • National Wildfire Coordinatio
    C ONSTRUCTING F IRE L INE (WILDLAND) (1.1) Developed by Engineer John Sanfilippo September 2011 National Wildfire Coordination Group (NWCG) – Incident Response Pocket Guide (IRPG) 2010 Ed. Standard Firefighting Orders (F.O.) and Watch Out Situations (W.O.) LFR Playbook – Wildland Fire Operating Guide (December 2006) T ASK S KILL DESCRIPTION AND DETAIL Firefighter Safety F.O. #10 – Fight fire aggressively, having provided for safety first. First identify L.C.E.S. and brief all members to ensure they are known and understood (F.O.’s #4, #5, #7, and #8). Size up the fire and know what the fire is doing or get in contact with someone that can (F.O. #2). All fire line must begin with an adequate anchor point (W.O. #8). Fire Line Location Always start with an anchor point. Will the location of your anchor point keep the fire from hooking around behind you? Answer this question or make adjustments to answer it. Consider another point to begin if you can’t answer it. Will some improvements work to answer the question? Usually, it is best to begin downhill of the fire. Look for natural features to help you; utilize wetlands, rock outcroppings, roads or trails to start with. Constructing Fireline (Wildland) Page 1 Once the anchor point is established (Benchmark – Anchor Point Established), time to build line on the fire flanks. Direct attack with one foot in the green and one foot in the black is safest and preferred. Try to keep the line as straight as possible and utilize natural features to lessen the workload.
