Method for predictively generating data for controlling a travel path and an operating sequence for agricultural vehicles and machines

A method for predictively generating data for controlling a drive track and an operating sequence of an agricultural vehicle (1) and of an agricultural machine (4), the method comprising steps of:

• automatically detecting and storing vehicle and machine data through a sensor arrangement (3) that is arranged at individual vehicles or individual machines for generating a vehicle and machine model (2, 9);
• collecting and storing data regarding a three-dimensional terrain topography and data regarding current and forecasted terrain properties and a weather condition for generating a predictive three-dimensional geo referenced terrain model (11);
• optimizing imaging of the vehicle and machine model (2, 9) onto the predictive three-dimensional geo referenced terrain model (11) and computing drive track control data for defining a drive track and machine control data for controlling machine components;
• virtually driving the vehicle and machine model (2, 9) through the predictive three-dimensional geo referenced terrain model (11) before the agricultural vehicle (1) is driven on real terrain;
• outputting and transmitting the drive track control data and the machine control data to a control unit of the agricultural vehicle (1) and agricultural machine (4), characterized in that
• the collecting of data regarding the current and forecasted terrain properties includes capturing data of a plurality of automated measuring stations that are distributed in the real terrain, in particular of measuring stations regarding a ground humidity and an actual amount of precipitation and associating the data with a geographic data set.
