Vehicles, in particular self-propelled agricultural harvesting machines such as forage harvesters or combine harvesters designed to pick up and process crops, include transfer devices that transfer all of the harvested crop material to a hauling vehicle or an attached hauling container. The discharge device is equipped with a control device for performing automatic or manual adjustments, and the self-propelled agricultural harvesting machine is equipped with a navigation system for determining the positions of the vehicles involved. To transfer the crop material to the hauling vehicle without loss, the crop discharge flow is directed only to a defined permissible tolerance region on the hauling container. The tolerance region is located within the hauling container contour and is bounded by edge zones, which are 'keep-out' zones for the transfer.

Generation of one or more reference driving tracks for use in automatic route planning of an agricultural working vehicle includes driving along a starting route of an agricultural field to be worked, recording the starting route in a data processing device, selecting at least one section of the recorded starting route as a reference driving track, investigating the starting route along its entire length for changes in direction, and in the selecting at least one section, selecting a section as the reference driving track only if a change in direction that falls below a limit value is not found anywhere along an entire length of the section.

Method for generating reference driving tracks for agricultural working machines

For controlling an agricultural machine system while it works a territory, which a route (R) is created for the machine system, which includes working tracks (F) along which the machine system is driven while the territory (S) is being worked, and which includes headland tracks (F), along which the machine system is driven when it travels from one working track (F) to the next working track (F) to be driven along. The machine system automatically processes a sequence of headland working steps at the end of one working track (F) and/or while a subsequent headland track (F) is being driven along, and/or at the beginning of a subsequent working track (F). The sequence of headland working steps is updated and carried out dynamically depending on the current position of the machine system and depending on the next working track (F) to be driven along. A related automatic control system for controlling an agricultural machine system is also provided.
