Abstract: A controller acquires a static path indicative of a target route of a transport vehicle. The static path includes a first endpoint and a second endpoint. The static path is set between a first work machine and a second work machine. The controller determines a first dynamic path that connects the first endpoint and a first target position for work of the first work machine. The controller determines a second dynamic path that connects the second endpoint and a second target position for work of the second work machine. The controller controls the transport vehicle so that the transport vehicle travels according to the static path, the first dynamic path, and the second dynamic path.

Abstract: A control system for a work vehicle includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor outputs a signal indicating an actual traveling direction of the work vehicle. The controller communicates with the sensor. The controller is programmed so as to execute the following processing. The controller acquires the actual traveling direction of the work vehicle. The controller sets the actual traveling direction as a target traveling direction when a condition that indicates that the work vehicle has started straight travel has been met. The controller calculates a bearing difference between the target traveling direction and the actual traveling direction. The controller moves the work implement at a target tilt angle corresponding to the bearing difference so as to reduce the bearing difference.
