A path planning system for a work vehicle includes a controller configured to determine an initial path between an end point of a first swath and a starting point of a second swath. In addition, the controller is configured to identify a restricted region positioned along the initial path, and to determine a first bounding point of the restricted region. The controller is also configured to determine a first waypoint based on the first bounding point. A distance between the first waypoint and the first bounding point is greater than or equal to half of a lateral extent of the work vehicle and less than half of a lateral extent of an implement. Furthermore, the controller is configured to determine an updated path that intersects the first waypoint, and to output signal(s) indicative of the updated path and/or instructions to direct the work vehicle along the updated path.

A path planning system for a work vehicle includes a controller configured to determine an initial path between an end point of a first swath and a starting point of a second swath. In addition, the controller is configured to identify a restricted region positioned along the initial path and to determine, in response to identifying the restricted region positioned along the initial path, a first bounding point of the restricted region. Furthermore, the controller is configured to determine a first waypoint based on the first bounding point and to determine an updated path that intersects the first waypoint. The controller is also configured to output signal(s) indicative of the updated path and/or instructions to direct the work vehicle along the updated path.
