Automatic Guidance of Agricultural Vehicles at High Field Speeds
نویسندگان
چکیده
An automatic steering controller was installed on a Case-IH Model 7220 tractor. The primary posture sensor was a kinematic differential GPS. Open loop and closed loop frequency response tests were conducted to evaluate the steering controller dynamics. A double integrator transfer function adequately related vehicle lateral deviation to steering angle within the frequency range of 0.04 Hz to 0.5 Hz. Forward placement of the posture sensor was critical to reducing the phase lag, allowing the use of a simplified guidance controller design.

متن کاملHigh accuracy path tracking for vehicles in presence of sliding: Application to farm vehicle automatic guidance for agricultural tasks
When designing an accurate automated guidance system for vehicles, a major problem is sliding and pseudosliding effects. This is especially the case in agricultural applications, where five-centimetre accuracy with respect to the desired trajectory is required, although the vehicles are moving on slippery ground. It has been established that RTK GPS was a very suitable sensor to achieve automat...

متن کاملSliding Mode Control of Automatic Guidance of Farm Vehicles in the Presence of Sliding
Satisfactory results of automatic guidance of farm vehicles have been achieved in previous works as long as vehicles move without sliding, but unfortunately in agricultural applications, sliding always occurs inevitably which causes loss of accuracy. In this paper the problem of path following control of autonomous farm vehicles subject to sliding is addressed. To take sliding effects into acco...
