Driver assistance system for a harvester with a belt cutter

A driver assistance system of an agricultural harvesting machine with a harvesting header in a form of a draper for cutting and picking up harvested material, the driver assistance system comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store data and one or more characteristic diagrams, wherein the one or more characteristic diagrams assigned to the draper indicate at least a relationship between one or more operating parameters and one or more quality parameters, wherein a control characteristic curve is assigned to at least one of the one or more characteristic diagrams, wherein the control characteristic curve is based on a minimum of the one or more quality parameters;
• and
• a computing device in communication with the memory and configured to process the data saved in the memory;
• wherein the draper comprises at least one central belt configured to convey harvested material to one or both of a feed roller or an intake channel of an inclined conveyor, at least one left side transverse conveyor belt positioned on a left side of the at least one central belt and at least one right side transverse conveyor belt positioned on a right side of the at least one central belt for conveying the harvested material to the at least one central belt, the at least one central belt, the at least one left side transverse conveyor belt and the at least one right side transverse conveyor belt being positioned behind a cutter bar in a direction of travel, and a belt cutting mechanism configured to accommodate a reel;
• wherein the driver assistance system, in working with the draper, comprises an automatic draper;
• and
• wherein the computing device is configured to:
• modify the at least one of the one or more characteristic diagrams as a function of a first variable;
• modify the at least one of the one or more characteristic diagrams as a function of a second variable, wherein modifying as the function of the first variable results in the at least one of the one or more characteristic diagrams being more quickly optimized than the modifying as the function of the second variable;
• determine, based on the control characteristic curve of the at least one of the one or more characteristic diagrams, one or more operating parameters for controlling the draper;
• and
• command the draper to implement the one or more operating parameters for controlling the draper in order for the draper to operate based on the control characteristic curve.
