  • Publication number: 20220383211
    Abstract: A field shape identification unit in a server control unit identifies, on the basis of position information about a work vehicle, the shape of a work field through which the work vehicle has traveled while working. A degree-of-overlap determination unit in the server control unit compares the shape of the work field identified by the field shape identification unit to the shape of a reference field and determines whether the degree of overlap between the work field and the reference field is greater than or equal to a prescribed degree. When the degree-of-overlap determination unit determines that the degree of overlap between the work field and the reference field is equal to or greater than a prescribed degree, an information management unit associates work-related information pertaining to the work in the work field with the reference field and manages the same.
