Autonomous Work Vehicle Route Generation by Priority Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users without expertise in inputting arbitrary setting data for target route generation in autonomous work vehicles face time-consuming and potentially incorrect input processes, leading to unsuitable routes that can result in inefficient work operations.
Innovation Solution
A target route generation system that includes a storage part for basic data, a priority item selection part, and a target route generation part that generates routes based on selected priority items, allowing users to select suitable routes without manual input of detailed setting data, along with an optional arbitrary data input part for corrections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user manually inputs arbitrary setting data for target route generation, then the target route can be generated according to the user's sense of value, but the input process becomes time-consuming and complex for users not skilled in operation
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-provides multiple types of arbitrary setting data (work area determination points, work start position, work start direction, work end position) that users can select from, eliminating the need for users to manually input all parameters from scratch. This preliminary preparation of data options resolves the contradiction by making the input process simpler while maintaining route generation accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit acts as an intermediary that receives the user's selected arbitrary setting data and automatically generates the target route. This intermediary processing eliminates the need for users to directly manipulate complex route generation parameters, simplifying the operation while ensuring accurate route generation based on user preferences.
2Reliability
If the user inputs arbitrary setting data according to their sense of value, then the target route matches the user's requirements, but inexperienced users may input incorrect data leading to inappropriate route generation
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service functionality by automatically generating the target route based on the arbitrary setting data selected by the user. The control unit processes the user's selections and automatically creates the route, reducing the need for users to have expert knowledge while ensuring route suitability through automated validation and generation processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to confirm and adjust the generated target route before final execution. This feedback mechanism allows users to review the route and make corrections if the initial generation does not meet their requirements, ensuring both route suitability and input data accuracy through iterative refinement.

AI summary
An objective of the present invention is to make it possible to obtain, with a simple operation, a target route for autonomous travel suited to, for example, a user's sense of values. A target route generation system for a work vehicle includes a storage part 30A that stores basic data necessary for generating a target route P for autonomous travel, a priority item selection part 34 that prompts selection of a priority item with regard to generation of the target route P, and a target route generation part 30D that generates the target route P based on the basic data and the selected priority item.
