Abstract
One or more processors control a first work machine to work according to a first work lane. The one or more processors control a second work machine to work according to a second work lane. The one or more processors determine whether at least a part of the second work machine is located in a first work area. When at least a part of the second work machine is located in the first work area, the one or more processors control the first work machine to perform an interference avoidance operation with respect to the second work machine.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a first work machine;
- a second work machine;
- and
- one or more processors that control the first work machine and the second work machine, the one or more processors being configured to
- allocate to the first work machine a first work area including a plurality of first work lanes extending in a predetermined first working direction and arranged in a direction intersecting the first working direction,
- acquire first position data indicative of a position of the first work machine,
- control the first work machine to work according to the first work lane,
- allocate to the second work machine a second work area including a plurality of second work lanes extending in a predetermined second working direction and arranged in a direction intersecting the second working direction,
- acquire second position data indicative of a position of the second work machine,
- control the second work machine to work according to the second work lane,
- determine whether at least a part of the second work machine is located in the first work area, and
- control the first work machine to perform an interference avoidance operation with respect to the second work machine when at least a part of the second work machine is located in the first work area.

- acquiring second position data indicative of a position of the second work machine;
- controlling the second work machine to work according to the second work lane;
- determining whether at least a part of the second work machine is located in the first work area;
- and
- controlling the first work machine to perform an interference avoidance operation with respect to the second work machine when at least a part of the second work machine is located in the first work area.
