Abstract
An agricultural harvesting system includes a control system that is configured to obtain a map that maps values of a speed characteristic of an agricultural harvester to different geographic locations in a worksite. The control system is further configured to generate a control signal to control a receiving machine based on the map.
Claims20
An agricultural system comprising:
- a control system that:
- obtains a map that maps values of a speed characteristic of an agricultural harvester to different geographic locations in a worksite;
- and
- generates a control signal to control a receiving machine based on the values of the speed characteristic of the agricultural harvester mapped to the different geographic locations in the worksite,
- wherein the values of the speed characteristic comprise predictive values of the speed characteristic of the agricultural harvester, and the control signal controls a speed of the receiving machine based on the predictive values of the speed characteristic of the agricultural harvester.

A computer implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a map that maps predictive values of a speed characteristic of an agricultural harvester to different geographic locations in a worksite;
- and
- controlling a speed of a receiving machine based on the predictive values of the speed characteristic of the agricultural harvester mapped to the different geographic locations in the worksite.
A material receiving machine comprising:
- a material receptacle configured to receive harvested material;
- a controllable subsystem;
- a communication system configured to obtain data indicative of speed characteristic values of an agricultural harvesting machine at unharvested geographic locations in a worksite;
- and
- a control system configured to generate control signals to control the controllable subsystem based on the speed characteristic values of the agricultural harvesting machine at the unharvested geographic locations in the worksite.
