A work vehicle control system includes an actual topography acquisition device, a storage device, and a controller. The actual topography acquisition device acquires actual topography information, which indicates an actual topography of a work target. The storage device stores design topography information, which indicates a final design topography that is a target topography of the work target. The controller acquires the actual topography information from the actual topography acquisition device, and the design topography information from the storage device. The controller determines an intermediate design topography positioned above the actual topography and below the final design topography. The controller generates a command signal to move the work implement based on the intermediate design topography. The intermediate design topography includes a plurality of intermediate design surfaces divided in the traveling direction of the work vehicle. Inclination angles of at least two of the intermediate design surfaces differ from each other.

Control system for work vehicle, control method, and work vehicle

When a current landscape includes an upward slope and a downward slope existing ahead of the upward slope, a controller determines a virtual design surface including a first design surface inclined at a smaller angle than the upward slope and a second design surface inclined with respect to the first design surface at a smaller angle than the downward slope. The controller generates a command signal that causes a work implement to move along the virtual design surface.

System for controlling work vehicle, method for controlling work vehicle, and work vehicle

A work vehicle control system includes an actual topography acquisition device, a storage device, and a controller. The actual topography acquisition device acquires actual topography information which indicates an actual topography of a work target. The storage device stores design topography information which indicates a final design topography which is a target topography of the work target. The controller acquires the actual topography information from the actual topography acquisition device. The controller acquires the design topography information from the storage device. The controller generates a command signal to move the work implement along a first locus that follows a slope of the actual topography, and a second locus positioned above the actual topography and below the final design topography in front of the first locus.

A work vehicle control system includes an actual topography acquisition device and a controller. The actual topography acquisition device acquires actual topography information, which indicates an actual topography of a work target. The controller acquires the actual topography information from the actual topography acquisition device. The controller generates a command signal to move the work implement along a locus positioned above the target topography by a predetermined distance when the actual topography is positioned below the target topography of the work target.

A controller acquires an excavation start position at which a work implement starts excavation. When a current landscape includes an upward slope and a downward slope existing ahead of the upward slope and the excavation start position is on the upward slope, the controller determines a first virtual design surface including a first design surface located below the current landscape and inclined at a smaller angle than the upward slope. The controller generates a command signal that causes the work implement to move along the first virtual design surface.

A work vehicle control system includes an actual topography acquisition device, a storage device, a soil amount acquisition device, and a controller. The actual topography acquisition device acquires actual topography information, which indicates an actual topography of a work target. The storage device stores design topography information, which indicates a final design topography of the work target. The soil amount acquisition device generates a soil amount signal indicating a held soil amount of the work implement. The controller acquires the actual topography information from the actual topography acquisition device, the design topography information from the storage device, and the soil amount signal from the soil amount acquisition device. The controller determines an intermediate design topography positioned above the actual topography and below the final design topography in accordance with the held soil amount. The controller generates a command signal to move the work implement based on the intermediate design topography.
