Patent ID: 7742860

Claim:
A route planning system for agricultural working machines, comprising means for assigning a defined working width to the agricultural working machines to generate a planned driving route in a territory, and for dynamic adaptation of the planned driving route by recognizing a deviation in actual working machine position from a planned driving route position carried out by an operator steering a working machine in any manner and recognizing a change in a working sequence on a certain territory carried out by an operator of a working machine at any time, and based on said recognized deviation and said recognized change in working sequence, an actual machine position and an actual machine orientation, previously covered territory and at least one optimization criteria which is a shortest driving route or shortest working time of a working machine, generating a new driving route, thereby ensuring that the planned driving route to be covered is flexibly adaptable to changing external conditions including driving around obstacles, and automatically working the new driving route thereby largely relieving the operator of the agricultural working machine of the task of performing laborious steering maneuvers.
