  • Patent number: 11983009
    Abstract: One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

  • Publication number: 20240049634
    Abstract: An agricultural harvesting system obtains a yield map that maps yield values to different geographic locations in a worksite and a speed map that maps agricultural harvester speed values to different geographic locations in the worksite. The agricultural harvesting system identifies a geographic location in the worksite at which the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to a threshold level, based on the yield map; identifies a geographic location in the worksite at which a material transfer operation is to start based on the geographic location at which the agricultural harvester will be full, at least to the threshold level; and identifies a time at which the agricultural harvester will arrive at the material transfer location, based on the speed map. The agricultural harvesting system can control one or more of the agricultural harvester and a receiving machine.

  • Publication number: 20240008387
    Abstract: Parameter values are detected for parameters that are indicative of an operator skill level. An operator skill level trend is generated, indicative of how the skill level of the operator changes over a future interval. A machine control signal is generated based upon the operator skill level trend.

  • Publication number: 20240013124
    Abstract: A predictive engine obtains as inputs a set of optimization criteria and a time horizon selection input and applies those inputs to a time horizon model in a variable time horizon prediction engine. A user interface is generated that provides actuatable elements that can be actuated in order to access different time horizon models in the variable time horizon prediction engine. Operational parameters can be adjusted so that the variable time horizon prediction engine provides an output indicative of a control signal that can be used to improve operation of the agricultural system over the selected time horizon.
