Abstract:
In accordance with a laser-optical navigation method a rotationally pulsed beam of light (8) in the form of a vertical disc is emitted from a sensor unit (6, 10, 11). Light reflected from reflectors (9) is registered by the sensor unit (6, 10, 11) and is computer processed for position determination purposes. In a device designed to perform the method the sensor unit (6, 10, 11) comprises means (6, 6a, 7) which are arranged to emit a rotationally pulsed beam of light in the form of a vertical disc. The device also comprises means (11) for measuring the elevation angle position of the device and an angle transducer (12) for determination of the lateral angle position. A first computer (13) effects an image analysis operation and a second computer (14) executes the navigation determination calculations on the basis of information received from the first computer (13).
Abstract:
Es wird vorgeschlagen, eine zu bestellende Fläche durch eine lineare Abwicklung auf einem Speichermedium abzubilden, wobei die Wegstrecke der linearen Abwicklung in Abschnitte unterteilt wird, denen jeweils eine Speicheradresse zur Eingabe von Sollwerten zur Steuerung der landwirtschaftlichen Maschine zugeordnet wird. In der Betriebsfahrt werden die an den Speicheradressen gespeicherten Sollwerte in Abhängigkeit von der zurückgelegten Wegstrecke zur Steuerung der landwirtschaftlichen Maschine abgerufen.
Abstract:
An enhanced vehicle guidance system (10) comprises a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver (14) and a data processor with a memory component (20) and a computing device (16). The method for enhancing a vehicle's guidance system comprises obtaining attitude, latitude, and longitude data for each of a plurality of positions (38) of the GNSS receiver. The attitude is used to calculate an inertial correction factor to compensate for GNSS position inaccuracies induced as a result of the vehicle rolling and pitching on uneven terrain. The latitude, longitude, and attitude of the plurality of positions is stored in the memory component (20) such that the system may look-up the attitude for a given position without recalculating or measuring the attitude.
Abstract:
A system includes a vehicle (106) configured to acquire field-data representative of a field (104) having crop material (102) that is to be picked up from the field; and a controller (108) configured to determine control-instructions for a machine (110) to pick up the crop material (102), based on the field-data. The control-instructions comprise machine-steering-instructions for automatically controlling the direction of travel of the machine (110), such that the machine follows a specific route through the field.

Abstract:
Method for operating an agricultural combine (2) on a field using at least one field-map (1), wherein the method comprises determining (S1) the position (3) of the agricultural combine (2) on the field (1), retrieving (S2) field related data from the at least one field-map related to the determined position on the field, and adjusting (S3) residue processing system (8) settings of the agricultural combine (2) based on the retrieved data. The residue processing system (8) settings comprise chopper (9) settings to influence an average particle size of residue expelled (11) by the residue processing system (8).
Abstract:
A work travel management system is provided that enables appropriate resumption of work travel even if the work travel is suspended. A work travel management system includes: a suspension information recording unit (602) that records suspension of work travel by a work vehicle as suspension information; a suspension information extraction unit (604) that extracts the suspension information from the suspension information recording unit (602); an information display unit (40) that displays the extracted suspension information; a resumption information generation unit (605) that generates resumption information for resuming the suspended work travel based on the suspension information and causes the information display unit (40) to display the generated resumption information; and a work travel control unit (50) that performs the work travel of the work vehicle based on the resumption information. Further, a method for managing work travel of a work vehicle capable of automatically traveling along a travel route in a work field is provided.
Abstract:
The present disclosure refers to an automatic traveling work vehicle that can monitor whether work traveling is properly performed along a travel route. The automatic traveling work vehicle includes: a travel route generation unit to generate the travel route; a work event planning unit to generate a work event plan defining a work event performed during the work traveling; an actual work event command generation unit (53) to generate an actual work event command based on the travel route, the work event plan, and an own vehicle position; a virtual work event command generation unit (45) to generate a virtual work event command based on the travel route, the work event plan, and the own vehicle position; and a work traveling monitoring unit (61) to determine an abnormality of the work traveling based on the actual work event command and the virtual work event command. Also, a method for controlling work traveling for an automatic traveling work vehicle along a travel route is provided.
