Management methods and management systems

Abstract

This invention provides a management method and management system that can improve the usability of selecting work items and setting work information. [Solution] The management method for the combine harvester 2, which is a work vehicle capable of autonomous driving, involves, for example, using the operator's management terminal 3, notifying the operator that the previously harvested area 191c (previously harvested land) where the combine harvester 2 has performed harvesting work has not reached the headland area 191e, which is the area required as a headland when the combine harvester 2 performs autonomous driving, or notifying the operator that the previously harvested area 191c has reached the headland area 191e, if the previously harvested area 191c has reached the headland area 191e.

Claims

1. A management method for managing work vehicles capable of autonomous driving, A management method comprising: if the mowed land where the work vehicle has performed mowing work has not reached the headland area which is the area required as a headland when the work vehicle is automatically driving, the method provides notification that the mowed land has not reached the headland area; or if the mowed land has reached the headland area, the method provides notification that the mowed land has reached the headland area.

2. The management method according to claim 1, which enables the setting of a work route in which the work vehicle automatically performs mowing when the previously mowed land reaches the headland area.

3. The management method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein when the previously mowed land reaches the headland area and an operation is performed to display a work route information setting screen for setting a work route in which the work vehicle will automatically mow, the work route information setting screen is displayed on the display unit.

4. The management method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the headland area is superimposed on the work area where the work vehicle performs the harvesting work and displayed on the display unit.

5. A control system for autonomous work vehicles, A management system that, if the mowed land where the work vehicle has performed mowing work has not reached the headland area which is the area required as a headland when the work vehicle is automatically driving, notifies that the mowed land has not reached the headland area, or if the mowed land has reached the headland area, notifies that the mowed land has reached the headland area.
