ROUTING SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL MACHINES Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A01B69/04 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: system characterised by the fact that a certain width of cultivation is assigned to agricultural machine for development of travel routes on territory. Routing system is arranged with the possibility of dynamic adaptation of planned route. Route is made of multiple route sections. Route sections are developed according to optimisation criteria. Optimisation criteria are "the shortest section of route/time of processing" and/or "low portion of non-productive auxiliary time" and/or "short auxiliary passages between serial route sections subject to processing" and/or "recognition and processing of available routes and sequence of processing stage", "short passages at the field border" and/or "minimisation of passages between agricultural machine and shifting vehicle". Routing system is arranged with the possibility to develop cultivation strategy. Cultivation strategy contains coordination of parallel route sections and arcs of turn and/or accounting of number of other agricultural machines positions available on the territory subject to cultivation, and/or accounting of machine kinematics, geometry of obstacles on the territory subject to cultivation, and/or accounting of harvested mass characteristics, and/or taking into account user wishes and previously specified process of cultivation.

EFFECT: it provides the possibility to flexibly react at varying external conditions.
