1. A system for detecting carryback within a dump body of a haul truck, the system comprising:
an excavator configured to lift and dump material into the dump body, the excavator comprising a boom member configured to extend at least a portion of the boom member above the dump body;
a scanning device configured to generate a scan of an interior surface of the dump body, the scan of the interior surface of the dump body including one or more captured images or three-dimensional data;
a first controller located onboard the excavator and including:
memory including instructions; and
processing circuitry coupled to the memory, the instructions, when performed by the processing circuitry, configure the processing circuitry to:
receive the scan of the interior surface of the dump body;
determine a type of dump body by comparing the scan of the interior surface of the dump body with a plurality of scans of interior surfaces of known dump bodies;
detect, based on a difference between the scan of the interior surface of the dump body and a reference scan from the plurality of scans of interior surfaces of known dump bodies, a presence of carryback in the dump body, wherein the reference scan is selected based on the determined type of dump body;
calculate a difference in volume between the scan of the interior surface of the known dump body and the scan of the interior surface of the dump body; and
alert an operator of the excavator of an amount of carryback present in the dump body of the haul truck allowing the operator to avoid overloading the dump body of the haul truck;
a second controller located either on a job site or remotely and coupled to the memory, the first controller and the second controller are both configured to wirelessly communicate with each other, the second controller comprising:
processing circuitry;
a baseline model repository configured to store the plurality of scans of the interior surface of the known dump body;
a truck identification pin list, the truck identification pin list includes all known haul trucks that have entered the job site;
a driver identification pin list, the driver identification pin list includes all known drivers that have entered the job site;
a location of drivers on the job site, the location of the drivers on the job site tracks the location of every truck that has been on the job site; and
an excavator identification pin list, the excavator identification pin list includes all excavators on the job site; and
a computer configured to receive information from a driver of the haul truck, the computer configured to collect:
a driver identification pin;
a truck identification pin; and
a location of the haul truck via a global positioning sensor.
