Abstract
A vehicle control device causes a work vehicle to automatically travel in accordance with a target route set in advance. The generation processing unit generates, in a case where setting information related to automatic traveling is changed after the work vehicle starts automatic traveling corresponding to the target route, a target route with reference to a work-completed route along which the work vehicle has performed work immediately before. The vehicle control device causes the work vehicle to automatically travel in accordance with the target route.
Claims17
An automatic traveling method, comprising:
- causing a work vehicle to automatically travel in accordance with a first target route set in advance;
- generating, in a case where setting information related to automatic traveling is changed after the work vehicle starts automatic traveling corresponding to the first target route, a second target route with reference to a work-completed route along which the work vehicle has performed work immediately before the setting information is changed, the second target route being different from a straight route currently being traveled by the work vehicle;
- and
- causing the work vehicle to automatically travel in accordance with the second target route.
An automatic traveling system comprising:
- a first travel processing unit that is configured to cause a work vehicle to automatically travel in accordance with a first target route set in advance;
- a generation processing unit that is configured to generate, in a case where setting information related to automatic traveling is changed after the work vehicle starts automatic traveling corresponding to the first target route, a second target route with reference to a work-completed route along which the work vehicle has performed work immediately before the setting information is changed, the second target route being different from a straight route currently being traveled by the work vehicle;
- and
- a second travel processing unit that is configured to cause the work vehicle to automatically travel in accordance with the second target route.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
- cause a work vehicle to automatically travel in accordance with a first target route set in advance;
- generate, in a case where setting information related to automatic traveling is changed after the work vehicle starts automatic traveling corresponding to the first target route, a second target route with reference to a work-completed route along which the work vehicle has performed work immediately before the setting information is changed, the second target route being different from a straight route currently being traveled by the work vehicle;
- and
- cause the work vehicle to automatically travel in accordance with the second target route.
