Problems solved by technology

However, large positioning errors up to the distance between consecutive sugar beets cannot be corrected solely by sensor-based guidance control
[0007] Also, for certain types of crops such as sugar beets, no or very few GPS-based seeding maps are available

Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 Shown is a field 2 to be processed by a vehicle 4 . The field includes, for example, a crop 6 such as sugar beets or other root crops.

[0018] The vehicle 4 processes the field according to a preset swath path 8 comprising at least two consecutive rows 10 and 12, which are respectively a first row and a second row. Said swath rows 10, 12 are defined by the working width W of the vehicle 4 and comprise a given number of consecutive individual crop rows, in the present embodiment 6 individual crop rows. Typically, the swath path includes the swath path defined by the working width W of the vehicle 4 rather than the swath line, and also includes the alignment that the vehicle is to follow as it moves during processing. In the specific cases described below, the swaths are represented by swath rows 10 and 12. In the following, it is assumed that mowing is a special case of mowing.

[0019] The field 2 has borders and each row 10, 12 has a row header 14 and a r...

Abstract

The invention relates to a control device for a vehicle, a corresponding vehicle and a method. This control device (50) is for a vehicle adapted for treating a field (2) along a predetermined swath path (8), the swath path comprising a first (10) and a second lane (12), the second lane comprising a lane beginning (14) defining a beginning pose (BP) of the vehicle. The beginning pose (BP) of the vehicle is the pose of the vehicle for ideally treating the second lane from the lane beginning. The control device is adapted to gather information about the first lane during treatment of the first lane by the vehicle; and the control device (50) comprises a target path generator device (52) adapted for generating a target path (56) for steering the vehicle to the beginning pose based on information about the first lane. The control device can be applied to agricultural vehicles.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control device. Background technique [0002] Such control devices are known in the prior art for guiding the movement of the harvesting vehicle along the rows to be harvested in a field, such as a beet crop field. [0003] Known automatic guidance systems for sugar beet harvesters use mechanical sensors to detect the position of the sugar beet crop and, depending on the detection of the root crop, control the steering axle of the vehicle. [0004] In addition, during the sowing process of crops, a sowing location map is also generated based on the GPS information of the vehicle at the time of sowing. The GPS-based maps generated during sowing can then be used to guide harvesting vehicles during harvesting. [0005] Harvesting vehicles harvest crops row by row. During harvesting, when the end of the row is reached, it takes a long time, especially for inexperienced drivers, to move the vehicle correctly to the beginning of...
