3.3.2
wireless control machine
remote control machine (3.3) where the control of the machine is accomplished by signals transmitted
through the air from an operator controlled device distant from the machine
Note 1 to entry: A wireless-controlled machine is operated with or without a direct view on the working area.
3.4
autonomous mode
mode of operation in which an earth-moving machinery (3.1) performs all machine safety-critical and
earth-moving or mining functions related to its defined operations without operator interaction
[SOURCE: ISO 17757:2019, 3.1.3.1, modified. The term “mobile machine” is replaced by ”earth-moving
machinery”, and Note 1 to entry is not included here.]
3.4.1
autonomous machine
earth-moving machinery (3.1) intended to operate in autonomous mode (3.4) during its normal
operating cycle
[SOURCE: ISO 17757:2019, 3.1.3.1, modified. The term “mobile machine” is replaced by ”earth-moving
machinery”, and Note 1 to entry is not included here.]
3.4.2
semi-autonomous machine
earth-moving machinery (3.1) intended to operate in autonomous mode (3.4) during part of its operating
cycle and which requires active control by an operator to complete some of the tasks assigned to the
machine
[SOURCE: ISO 17757:2019, 3.1.3.2, modified. The term “mobile machine” is replaced by ”earth-moving
machinery”, and Note 1 to entry is not included here.]

Note 1 to entry: Earth-moving machinery (3.1) comprises the following machine families:
— dozers (4.1);
— loaders (4.2);
— backhoe loaders (4.3);
— excavators (4.4);
— trenchers (4.5);
— dumpers (4.6);

— rollers (4.10);
— pipelayers (4.11);
— compact tool carriers (4.12);
— Vacuum excavator (4.13).
3.6
machine model
machine type
manufacturer's designation of a machine family (3.4)
Note 1 to entry: A machine family can have several models or types which are the manufacturer's type designation
of the machine.
3.7
individual machine
machine having a unique identification number for each manufactured machine
Note 1 to entry: The product identification number (PIN) according to ISO 10261 clearly identifies the individual
machine.
3.8
operating mass
mass of the base machine (3.10), with equipment (3.11) and empty attachment (3.12) in the most usual
configuration as specified by the manufacturer, and with the operator (75 kg), full fuel tank and all
fluid systems (i.e. hydraulic oil, transmission oil, engine oil, engine coolant) at the levels specified by the
manufacturer and, when applicable, with sprinkler water tank(s) half full
Note 1 to entry: The mass of the operator is not included for non-riding machines.
Note 2 to entry: Ballast mass at delivery can be included if specified by the manufacturer.

3.9
base machine
machine with or without a canopy (3.14) or a cab (3.14) and operator-protective structure (3.13) if
required, without equipment (3.11) or attachments (3.12) but possessing the necessary mounting for
such equipment and attachments
