  • Patent number: 11596093
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predictively generating data for controlling a drive track and an operating sequence of an agricultural vehicle and of an agricultural machine, the method comprising the steps automatically detecting and storing vehicle and/or machine data through a sensor arrangement that is arranged at individual vehicles or individual machines for generating a vehicle and machine model; collecting and storing data regarding a three dimensional terrain topography and/or data regarding current and/or forecasted terrain properties and/or a weather condition for generating a predictive three dimensional geo referenced terrain model; optimizing imaging of the vehicle and machine model into the three dimensional predictive terrain model and computing drive track control data for defining a drive track and/or machine control data for controlling machine components; putting out and transmitting the drive track control data and/or the machine control data to a control unit of the agricultural v

  • Publication number: 20210405644
    Abstract: A method for implementing end-of-row (EOR) turns within a field includes accessing a location of a work boundary outlining a work area of the field within which an agricultural machine is configured to perform an agricultural operation, and generating a boundary-based EOR turn path for the agricultural machine between an end point of a first path extending across the work area and a start point of a second path extending across the work area, with the boundary-based EOR turn path being defined relative to the work boundary such that the agricultural machine is maintained spaced apart from the boundary by at least a minimum buffer distance as the machine is traversed between the end point of the first path and the start point of the second path. In addition, the method includes automatically executing an EOR turn along the boundary-based EOR turn path and/or displaying the boundary-based EOR turn path.
