  • Patent number: 11185006
    Abstract: A support system for determining a trajectory to be followed by an agricultural work vehicle when working a field comprises: a mapping unit configured for receiving: i) coordinates relating to the boundaries of a field to be worked; and ii) coordinates relating to the boundaries of one or more obstacles to be avoided the work vehicle; wherein the one or more obstacles being located within the field; a capacity parameter unit configured for receiving one or more capacity parameters relating to the working vehicle; a trajectory calculating unit configured for calculating an optimized trajectory to be followed by the work vehicle; wherein the optimized trajectory is being calculated on the basis of the coordinates received by the mapping unit; and one or more of the one or more capacity parameters received by the capacity parameter unit.
