Abstract:
A travel route automatic selection system for a work machine includes a travel route search unit that searches a travel route satisfying a condition that the work machine can enter from a current position for preparing entry only by forward movement along an entry route formed so that the work machine enters at an entry position in a same direction as a traveling direction when the work machine travels the travel route, at an entry position positioned between a travel route start position and a work start position, from a predetermined travel route corresponding to each of the one or a plurality of work target zones, by determining whether the condition is satisfied based on at least the travel route part of the predetermined distance from the travel route start position at least between the travel route start position and the work start position of the predetermined travel route.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to enable a parallel work by a first work vehicle and a second work vehicle to be achieved while measuring the locations of the work vehicles utilizing cheaper satellite location measurement systems. A first satellite location measurement system is mounted on one of a first work vehicle and a second work vehicle, a second satellite location measurement system, which has lower accuracy than that of the first satellite location measurement system, is mounted on a remote control device to be carried on the other of the work vehicles, the actual locations of the first work vehicle and the second work vehicle are measured by the first satellite location measurement system and the second satellite location measurement system, and the locations of the first work vehicle and the second work vehicle are displayed on a display device in the remote control device.
Abstract:
A raster-based system for GNSS guidance includes a vehicle-mounted GNSS antenna and receiver. A processor provides guidance and/or autosteering commands based on GNSS-defined pixels forming a grid representing an area to be treated, such as a field. Specific guidance and chemical application methods are provided based on the pixel-defined treatment areas and preprogrammed chemical application prescription maps, which can include variable chemical application rates and dynamic control of the individual nozzles of a sprayer.
Abstract:
In the prior art, detection sensitivity was fixed for an obstacle detection means provided to an autonomous travelling service vehicle; therefore, in the present invention an autonomous travelling service vehicle is provided with a position calculation means that determines the position of the chassis using a satellite positioning system, and with a control device that automatically drives the vehicle along a set travel route and causes the vehicle to execute the service, wherein an obstacle sensor that acts as an obstacle detection means for detecting whether or not an obstacle is present around the autonomous travelling service vehicle and a sensitivity adjustment means for adjusting the sensitivity of the obstacle sensor are provided, and the sensitivity of the obstacle sensor is adjusted by the sensitivity adjustment means so as to be high within a set work area and low outside the set work area.
Abstract:
A work vehicle cooperation system includes: a master traveling track calculation unit that calculates a traveling track of a master work vehicle (1P) based on a detection position at which the master work vehicle (1P) was detected; a slave traveling target calculation unit that calculates a target traveling position of the slave work vehicle (1C) based on the traveling track of the master work vehicle (1P); a master parameter generation unit that generates a master work/driving parameter relating to work/driving executed by the master work vehicle (1P), the master work/driving parameter being linked with the detection position; a slave parameter generation unit that generates a slave work/driving parameter for the slave work vehicle (1C) based on the master work/driving parameter, the slave work/driving parameter being linked with the target traveling position for the slave work vehicle (1C); and a navigation control unit that navigates the slave work vehicle in an unmanned manner based on a detection position of the slave work vehicle (1C), the target traveling position, and the slave work/driving parameter.
Abstract:
[Problem] To enable high-precision work by causing the halting of travel before an autonomous travel work vehicle deviates from a set travel path. [Solution] An autonomous travel work vehicle (1), which is provided with a position calculation means that measures the device body position by means of a satellite positioning system, a steering actuator (40) that operates a steering device, an engine rotation control means, a transmission means (44), and a control device (30) that controls each of same, is caused to autonomously travel, along a set travel path stored in the control device (30), by an accompanying travel work vehicle (100) that works while accompanying the travel of the autonomous travel work vehicle (1) by means of attended operation and that is mounted with a remote operation device (112) that can operate the autonomous travel work vehicle, and the control device (30) halts autonomous travel when a signal disruption from the satellites, a large deviation from the set travel path, an abnormal sensor value, fuel exhaustion, or the like is detected.
