Abstract
A guidance assembly for an agricultural vehicle includes a pathing system configured to provide an array of swaths. The guidance assembly includes a composite guidance system in communication with an automated driving interface and the pathing system. The composite guidance system includes a turn guidance system configured to guide the agricultural vehicle along at least one turn segment extending between a first zone swath and a transverse second zone swath, and a swath guidance system configured to guide the agricultural vehicle along the first zone swath and the transverse second zone swath. The system includes a comparator configured to compare the agricultural vehicle position with swath departure and arrival locations. An interswath turning element automatically toggles the turn and swath guidance systems between activated and paused configurations according to the compared agricultural vehicle position and the swath departure and arrival locations.
