Abstract
A control system for a work vehicle includes a controller. The controller determines a work zone at a work site. The controller determines a target design topography at least partially positioned below an actual topography at the work site. The controller specifies a non-work zone. The non-work zone is a portion in which the actual topography is positioned below the target design topography in the work zone. The controller modifies the work zone based on the non-work zone. The controller generates a command signal to operate a work implement of the work vehicle according to the modified work zone and the target design topography.
Claims19
A control system for a work vehicle including a work implement, the control system comprising:
- a controller configured to
- determine a work zone at a work site,
- determine a target design topography at least partially positioned below an actual topography at the work site,
- specify a non-work zone that is a portion in which the actual topography is positioned below the target design topography in the work zone,
- modify the work zone based on the non-work zone,
- generate a first command signal to operate the work implement according to the modified work zone and the target design topography, and
- control the work implement in accordance with the first command signal.
A method executed by a controller in order to control a work vehicle including a work implement, the method comprising:
- determining a work zone at a work site;
- determining a target design topography at least partially positioned below an actual topography at the work site;
- specifying a non-work zone that is a portion in which the actual topography is positioned below the target design topography in the work zone;
- modifying the work zone based on the non-work zone;
- generating a first command signal to operate the work implement according to the modified work zone and the target design topography;
- and
- controlling the work implement in accordance with the first command signal.
A work vehicle comprising:
- a work implement;
- and
- a controller configured to control the work implement,
- the controller being configured to
- determine a work zone at a work site,
- determine a target design topography at least partially positioned below an actual topography at the work site,
- specify a non-work zone that is a portion in which the actual topography is positioned below the target design topography in the work zone,
- modify the work zone based on the non-work zone,
- generate a command signal to operate the work implement according to the modified work zone and the target design topography, and
- control the work implement in accordance with the first command signal.
