A work vehicle support system includes: an own vehicle position detecting module configured to detect an own vehicle position of a work vehicle; and a work-unfinished region outer-shape map calculating section configured to calculate, during circulating work-traveling along an outer perimeter of a work scheduled region, an outer-shape map of a work-unfinished region in the work scheduled region, from own vehicle position data acquired by the own vehicle position detecting module.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a control system for a base station (52) includes a transceiver configured to receive a first signal and send a second signal to an agricultural vehicle (16). The first signal indicates at least an acceleration of the vehicle, a current velocity of the vehicle, and a location relative to a terrain (12) where the vehicle experienced the acceleration, and the second signal indicates a vehicle target velocity. The control system includes a controller configured to determine a bump severity value based on the acceleration and the current velocity of the vehicle, mark an area (14) indicative of the bump on a map (10,30) of the terrain (12) when the bump severity value exceeds a threshold, and automatically generate the second signal when the vehicle enters the area (14). The target velocity is based on a proximity of the vehicle to the bump, the bump severity value, or some combination thereof.

Abstract:
A leader location-determining receiver (34) determines a leader location of a lead vehicle (400). A follower location-determining receiver (46) determines a follower location of a follower vehicle (405), which has a container for storing a material. A data processor (20) or position module (56) calculates an observed relative position between the lead vehicle (400) and the follower vehicle (405). Target relative positions are established between the lead vehicle and the follower vehicle. A data processor (18, 54) or selector (24) selects a preferential one of the established target positions. A data processor (18) or adjuster (54) adjusts the observed relative position of the follower vehicle (405) to achieve the selected preferential one of the established target positions.
