The controller is also configured to identify an active path of the plurality of vehicle paths based on the location of the target vehicle. The target path is a path traversed by the target vehicle.
Claims12
An agricultural system, comprising:
- a work vehicle controller comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the work vehicle controller is configured to:
- receive or determine a plurality of duplicate paths for a target vehicle, wherein each duplicate path of the plurality of duplicate paths comprises a duplicate of a primary path of the target vehicle;
- receive data indicative of a location of the target vehicle;
- identify an active path of the plurality of duplicate paths based on the location of the target vehicle, wherein the active path is traversed by the target vehicle;
- determine a work path for a work vehicle, wherein the work path comprises a path for aligning the work vehicle alongside the target vehicle;
- and
- control the work vehicle to follow the work path.
