Infield logistics planning for harvest operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 operations performed with harvesters and tractors.

Infield Path Planning for Autonomous Unloading Vehicles
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 dynam...

متن کاملField Operations Planning for Agricultural Vehicles: A Hierarchical Modeling Framework
The execution of field operations by a fleet of cooperating machines needs to be carefully planned, in order to achieve maximum efficiency. Hence, it is necessary to describe these operations with mathematical models that can be used for optimal planning. The complexity of agricultural operations makes such modeling difficult. Important variables for planning, such as logistics for crop yield, ...
