Work Vehicle Route Display for Chronological Multi-Vehicle Actions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current work vehicle control systems lack efficient methods to chronologically display and manage work actions and travel routes, especially in agricultural and construction settings, where multiple vehicles may need to coordinate their operations.
Innovation Solution
A work vehicle system that includes a monitor, memory, and circuitry to calculate and display work actions based on travel routes, allowing for the reception and display of additional work actions from other vehicles, enabling chronological display of work events and cooperative work travel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If work action information and travel routes are stored and processed for multiple vehicles, then operational coordination and visibility are improved, but system complexity and data management burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates visual copies (screen data) of work action information from multiple vehicles and displays them chronologically on a single monitor. This allows operators to view replicated information from other vehicles without adding physical complexity to the vehicles themselves, resolving the contradiction between information visibility and system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The control device acts as an intermediary that receives work action information from multiple vehicles, processes it chronologically, and generates display data. This central intermediary handles the data management complexity centrally rather than requiring complex distributed systems in each vehicle
2Productivity
If chronological display of work actions from multiple vehicles is implemented, then operational coordination is improved, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments work action information by vehicle and chronologically orders it, displaying it in a structured sequence. This segmentation approach allows efficient processing by handling information from each vehicle independently and combining them chronologically, reducing the overall data processing burden while maintaining coordination efficiency

AI summary
A work vehicle includes a monitor, a memory, and circuitry. The memory is to store a travel route and work action information based on which the work vehicle is to execute at least one work action while the work vehicle travels based on the travel route. The circuitry is configured to receive an additional travel route and additional work action information based on which another work vehicle is to execute at least one additional work action while the another work vehicle travels based on the additional travel route. The circuitry is configured to generate additional screen data to chronologically display the at least one additional work action in the monitor.
