Automatic traveling work vehicle and method for monitoring automatic traveling work vehicle

An automatic traveling work vehicle, comprising:

• position calculation means for calculating positions of the automatic traveling work vehicle based on positioning data from a satellite positioning module;
• actual work command generation means for generating an actual work command to perform a work event at a work position among the positions of the automatic traveling work vehicle;
• work control means for controlling the automatic traveling work vehicle to work at the work position according to the actual work command;
• virtual work command generation means for generating a virtual work command in accordance with the work event at the work position, the automatic traveling work vehicle being not actually controlled according to the virtual work command;
• and
• monitoring means for determining whether an abnormality occurs in an operation of the automatic traveling work vehicle based on the actual work command and the virtual work command.
