Agricultural machine speed optimization monitor

A computer implemented method of optimizing a travel speed of a mobile agricultural machine, the computer implemented method comprising:

• detecting one or more job quality characteristic values;
• detecting a travel speed of the mobile agricultural machine;
• determine an optimal travel speed of the mobile agricultural machine based on the one or more job quality characteristic values and a respective job quality characteristic threshold value for each of the one or more job quality characteristic values;
• and
• generating a control signal based on the determined optimal travel speed and the detected travel speed of the mobile agricultural machine.

A mobile agricultural machine comprising:

• one or more job quality sensors each of the one or more job quality sensors configured to detect a respective job quality characteristic value of a job performed by a mobile agricultural machine;
• a speed sensor configured to detect a travel speed of the mobile agricultural machine;
• and
• a control system configured to:
• determine an optimal travel speed of the mobile agricultural machine based on the one or more respective job quality characteristic values, detected by the one or more job quality sensors, and a respective job quality characteristic value threshold for each of the one or more respective job quality characteristic values;
• and
• generate a control signal based on the determined optimal travel speed and the detected travel speed of the mobile agricultural machine.
