  • Patent number: 12137625
    Abstract: A control system for a work vehicle that performs auto-steer driving includes a storage to store a target path for the work vehicle, and a controller configured or programmed to control steering of the work vehicle so that the work vehicle travels along the target path based on a position of the work vehicle identified by a position identifier and the target path stored in the storage. The target path includes parallel main paths and one or more turning paths interconnecting the plurality of main paths. When the work vehicle is turning along one of the turning paths via automatic steering, if the position of the work vehicle becomes deviated from the turning path by more than a reference distance, the controller is configured or programmed to cause an alarm generator to output an alarm.
