An agricultural work system for optimizing agricultural work flows has at least one agricultural work unit and a plurality of functional units, each having a control device for controlling the respective functional unit based on a stored set of rules. The agricultural work system has a central pattern recognition system which stores at least one agricultural work situation as a situation pattern. Work situation-specific information is transferrable to the pattern recognition system which identifies a stored work situation and the associated situation pattern based on the obtained information and transmits meta-information (M) characterizing the identified work situation to the functional units. The pattern recognition system and/or the control devices coordinate the cooperation of those functional units which work together in the identified work situation based on the meta-information so that the control devices carry out corresponding parameter adjustments of the associated functional unit.

Agricultural work machine

A device for visualizing control operations of an agricultural working machine includes a visualization device that visualizes at least one driving path to be traveled is assigned to the agricultural working machine. Control operations are stored in graphic images and the graphic images are displayed in the visualization device along the driving path to be traveled in the order in which they are carried out, to maintain an operator in an informed state with respect to the control processes that are taking place.

Visualization device

An agricultural working vehicle has a plurality of working assemblies, at least one control unit for influencing the setting parameters of the working assemblies, a memory unit, and at least one display unit, and it is configured such that even an untrained operator may optimize the setting parameters of the working assemblies in a rapid, reliable manner. An expected change in the function and/or the working result of individual working assemblies or a plurality of working assemblies is depicted in the display unit in a manner that depends on how an operator influences individual setting parameters of the working assemblies.

Agricultural working vehicle

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

A route planning system for agricultural working machines with a defined working width assigned to the agricultural working machine to generate driving routes in a territory includes a navigation module configured to generate the driving routes and having at least one automatic driving mode and at least one recording mode, such that said at least one automatic driving mode and the at least one recording mode are activatable independently of each other.

Method for creating 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.
