  • Publication number: 20240168481
    Abstract: Systems and methods for planning and filtering a path of a vehicle in a work area or field are described. An example system includes a user interface that supports a selection of a threshold value used to filter the path of the vehicle. The system also includes a data processor that receives the path that defines guidance lines and transitions between guidance lines and filters the path by deleting portions of the guidance lines that do not satisfy the threshold value. The guidance lines define movement of the vehicle though a work area or field. The system includes a guidance module that controls at least one motive function of the vehicle based on the filtered path.

  • Publication number: 20240147889
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for guidance and/or automation of work vehicles operating within defined work areas. The system may include a work vehicle controller. At least one boundary is determined with respect to the defined work area as being restricted for traverse by the work vehicle. Upon determining a current vehicle path will traverse a portion of the boundary, a revised vehicle path is automatically generated to avoid traverse of the boundary portion and further at least in part on vehicle motion characteristics such as an available minimum turn radius and/or a wheel angle rate of the work vehicle. Output signals are provided corresponding to the revised vehicle path, which may include for example control signals for automating an advance of the work vehicle along the revised vehicle path, or signals for generating a user interface visually guiding a vehicle operator with respect to the revised vehicle path.
