Abstract

The invention relates to a terrain modification tracking method; wherein said method comprises the steps of: providing a plurality of ground modifiers (1a, 1b) each comprising an earthwork tool (4) comprising a tool point (11); repeatedly modifying a terrain having a ground surface using said earthwork tool of said plurality of ground modifiers, to repeatedly establishing a modified terrain comprising a modified ground surface; repeatedly tracking a tool point (11) position of said tool point of each of said plurality of ground modifiers during said step of modifying said terrain, to establish real-time tool point position data of each of said plurality of ground modifiers; repeatedly generate a digital modified ground surface representation (DMGSR) based on said real-time tool point position data of each of said plurality of ground modifiers; repeatedly displaying at least a part of said generated digital modified ground surface representation on at least two displays (23), wherein at least one display of said at least two displays are associated with a ground modifier of said plurality of ground modifiers.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of modifying a terrain (14) comprising a ground surface (15); wherein said method comprises the steps of: modifying (S1) said terrain (14) to establish a modified terrain and thereby a modified ground surface (16) of said modified terrain (14); establishing (S2) a digital modified ground surface representation (26; DMGSR) of said modified ground surface (16); and automatically storing (S3) said digital modified ground surface representation (26, DMGSR).

Abstract

The invention relates to a system, ground modifier, and to a computer implemented method of determining a ground material type of a ground material of a terrain. The method comprising steps of establishing a modified (MSI) terrain by moving the ground material of the terrain using a ground modifier (GM); measuring ground material related data (GMRD) of the moved ground material to establish input measurements (IM); determining a ground material (GMT) type of the ground material by analyzing the input measurements (IM) on the basis of a ground characterizing model (GCM).
