Work vehicle start system and method with virtual walk-around for authorizing remote start

A remote start system for a work vehicle, comprising:

• a communication unit configured to receive a remote start input signal;
• a plurality of sensors detecting information indicative of a plurality of parameters associated with the work vehicle or work vehicle environment and wherein the plurality of sensors includes a proximity sensor configured to detect environment obstacles;
• a controller, with memory and processing architecture for executing vehicle control algorithms, coupled to the communication unit and the plurality of sensors, the controller comprising at least a start module and a verification module, and
• wherein the start module is configured to generate a verification request in response to the remote start input signal,
• wherein, in response to the verification request, the verification module is configured to confirm that the plurality of parameters satisfies a plurality of verification conditions associated with the work vehicle or work vehicle environment required for remote start of the work vehicle and to generate a verification confirmation when the plurality of parameters satisfies the plurality of verification conditions, wherein the plurality of verification conditions includes a verification of an absence of the environment obstacles and
• wherein the start module is configured to generate a start command in response to the verification confirmation;
• and
• a starter device coupled to the controller and configured to energize a prime mover of the work vehicle upon receipt of the start command from the controller.
