Infield Path Planning for Autonomous Unloading Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
In agricultural harvesting processes, the infield logistics of transporting the crop from the harvesters' tanks to a street transporter at the field border with an unloading vehicle is challenging. The harvesters have to be unloaded while driving and in time to prevent the loss of expensive process time. The path planning for the unloading vehicle has to consider the unharvested area as a dynamic obstacle and cope with additional constraints like the harvester's kinematics, dynamics and its unloading direction. We present an approach for infield path planning for autonomous unloading vehicles that tackles these problems.

The Path Planning Component of an Architecture for Autonomous Vehicles
Path planning for an autonomous vehicle can occur at two different times. First, path planning might occur at mission specification time when the vehicle’s initial path is determined and used to specify other mission factors. This task makes use of some model of the environment in planning a path that will avoid obstacles and hazardous areas. A second type of path planning might occur while the...
متن کاملA Generic Path Planning Strategy for Autonomous Vehicles
Path planning is a necessary and fundamental component of any autonomous vehicle. The goal is to obtain a path that allows the vehicle to fullll its mission objectives by ensuring an eecient and safe path. Numerous path planning algorithms exist, although each is speciic to the type of vehicle that the algorithm is used on. This paper presents a path planning algorithm that is generic in nature...
متن کاملPath Planning based on Bézier Curve for Autonomous Ground Vehicles
In this paper we present two path planning algorithms based on Bézier curves for autonomous vehicles with waypoints and corridor constraints. Bézier curves have useful properties for the path generation problem. The paper describes how the algorithms apply these properties to generate the reference trajectory for vehicles to satisfy the path constraints. Both algorithms join cubic Bézier curve ...
متن کاملCooperative Path-planning for Autonomous Vehicles Using Dynamic Programming
It is shown how to model a cooperative path planning system for multiple autonomous air vehicles within the framework of a stochastic (dynamic programming) decision process. The proposed approach allows the vehicles to cooperate and find near-optimal search paths over a given environment in the presence of uncertainty and constraints on movement and computational power.
متن کاملInfield logistics planning for harvest operations
Crops are harvested by performing a series of operations with harvesting vehicles in the field. The harvest operation is performed with combines (harvesters). Supporting logistical activities of transferring and transporting harvest (grain) from the field to the farm are carried out with the help of tractors. This research focuses on detailed logistics planning of various infield harvest operat...
