Abstract:
An autonomously traveling work vehicle (1) provided with: a position calculation means for using a satellite positioning system to measure the position of the vehicle body so that, when a person approaches the autonomous travel work vehicle, the person or an operator will be alerted and safety can be improved; and a control device (30) for causing the autonomously traveling work vehicle to automatically work and travel along a set travel route; wherein a person detection sensor (70) is provided to the autonomously traveling work vehicle (1) and connected to the control device (30), and the control device (30) performs a control so as to stop the autonomously traveling work vehicle (1) from traveling when, while work is being performed during autonomous travel within a set work area, the person detection sensor (70) detects a person within a fan-shaped first setting range having, as the radius, the maximum distance for the vehicle body to come to a stop after the intrusion of a person is detected while the vehicle is traveling at a working speed.
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 position of the master work vehicle (1P); a loop traveling detection unit that detects loop traveling in a loop work area (B), which is defined as the perimeter of a U-turn work area (A), the U-turn work area (A) being an area in which work is performed by repeating straight work traveling and U-turns; a redirection traveling target calculation unit that calculates a redirection traveling start point and a redirection traveling end point (Pc3) of a slave work vehicle (1C) based on a redirection traveling track including a redirection traveling start point (Pp1) and a redirection traveling end point of redirection traveling of the master work vehicle (1P); and a loop work traveling target calculation unit that calculates a target traveling position in loop work traveling of the slave work vehicle (1C) from the redirection traveling end point (Pc3) to a next redirection traveling start point (Pc1), based on the work widths of the master work vehicle (1P) and the slave work vehicle (1C), and a loop work traveling track of the master work vehicle (1P).

Abstract:
A method for defining a contoured path for an automatic guidance system comprises defining a plurality of reference path segments; for each segment, determining one or more intersection points respectively with other segments; and subsequently defining a contoured path as a sequence of intersecting segments. An automatic guidance system based on the method is also provided.
Abstract:
Ein Planungssystem zur, insbesondere interaktiven, Planung einer Feldbearbeitung für eine landwirtschaftliche Arbeitsmaschine weist neben einer Anzeigeeinheit eine Datenverarbeitungseinheit zur Verarbeitung feldspezifischer Daten auf. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Planungssystem eingerichtet und ausgebildet, feldspezifische Daten zu erzeugen und/oder vorgegebene feldspezifische Daten in die Datenverarbeitungseinheit zu importieren, aus den feldspezifischen Daten mittels eines in der Datenverarbeitungseinheit hinterlegten Algorithmus mindestens ein Referenzobjekt abzuleiten, das mindestens eine Referenzobjekt auf einer Anzeigeeinheit anzuzeigen, wobei mindestens ein Referenzobjekt als Eingangsinformation für die Planung der Bearbeitung des Feldes durch einen Bediener des Planungssystems auswählbar ist, und basierend auf dem mindestens einen ausgewählten Referenzobjekt ein Bearbeitungsplan für die landwirtschaftliche Arbeitsmaschine generiert wird. Dadurch kann eine vereinfachte Erzeugung von Eingangsinformationen für eine Erstellung eines Bearbeitungsplanung eines Feldes basierend auf feldspezifischen Daten ermöglicht werden.
Abstract:
A system for managing the transfer of agricultural material from a material-transferring vehicle to a material-receiving vehicle. An unloading chute is adapted to transfer material from a first storage container of the material-transferring vehicle to a material-receiving vehicle alongside the material-transferring vehicle. A location-determining receiver is adapted to estimate position data for guiding the material-transferring vehicle. An image sensor is mounted on the material-transferring vehicle or the first storage container for estimating a lateral separation distance between the first storage container and the material-receiving vehicle for receiving the material. An electronic data processing system guides the material-transferring vehicle based on the estimated position data and the estimated lateral separation distance, to maintain a generally constant target lateral separation distance between the material-transferring vehicle and the material-receiving vehicle during the transfer of the material.
