Benefits of technology

[0015] To enable the operator to influence the adaptation of the determined parameter, an advantageous further development of the present invention provides that the determined parameter is displayed to the operator using a display unit.

Problems solved by technology

It was not possible to use systems of this type to perform advance planning of driving routes to be worked.
This results in increased costs due to an unnecessarily excessive application of the substance and, in the least favorable case, the multiple applications can also damage the plants.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a territory 1 to be worked, said territory being driven over and worked by an agricultural working machine 2 designed as a self-propelled mower mechanism 3. The self-propelled mower mechanism 3 is a carrier vehicle 4 which, in the simplest case, can be designed as a tractor 5, to the front and sides of which working attachments 6 designed as mowing units are assigned. In addition, the agricultural working machine 2 includes a route planning system 7 known per se that is capable of subdividing territory 1 to be worked into “driving routes”8 to be worked by the agricultural working machine 2. These driving routes 8 are usually generated in a first working step by the agricultural working machine 2 first driving around the territory 1 to be worked, following outer contours 9, so that the route planning system 7 can then determine further driving routes 8 as a function of working width A, thereby ultimately ensuring that the territory 1 to ...

Abstract

A method for controlling an agricultural working machine includes the step of assigning a route planning system (7) to the agricultural working machine (2) for generating driving routes (8) in a territory (1). The route planning system (7) subdivides the territory (1) into a worked territory (13) and a remaining territory area (14), and at least one parameter (17) of the agricultural working machine (2) is adapted as a function of the shape of the worked territory (13) and/or the remaining territory area (14). In this manner it is ensured that the working method of the agricultural working machine (2) or its working attachments (6) is adaptable to the shape of the particular territory (13, 14) to ensure economically efficient use of the agricultural working machine (2). A device for controlling an agricultural working machine also is provided.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device for controlling an agricultural working machine. [0002] EP 0 660 660 discloses equipping agricultural working machines with “GPS” systems to record the position of the agricultural harvesting machine in an area to be worked. In this process, the operator of the machine determined the route to be driven, and the GPS system—that is actively connected to a recording unit—delivered the position data of the vehicle, which were then used in the recording unit to electronically depict the driving path that had been covered. Systems of this type were an initial step in the direction toward recording driving routes, whereby the initial application was only to record driving routes. It was not possible to use systems of this type to perform advance planning of driving routes to be worked. [0003] Building logically on the idea of displaying driving routes, systems as described in EP 0 821 296 enable the g...
