Abstract: A travel route generating device for a work vehicle includes a cell memory to store cell information with respect to cells obtained by dividing a topographical map of a work field in which the work vehicle works. A travel probability memory is to store a travel probability with respect to each of the cells. The travel probability includes a left-turn travel probability, a straight travel probability, and a right-turn travel probability in each of the cells. Circuitry is configured to determine a travel direction in each of the cells based on the travel probability of each of the cells. The work vehicle is configured to travel through each of the cells in the travel direction. The circuitry is configured to change the travel probability with respect to affected cells affected by moving the work vehicle through each of the cells.

Abstract: A work vehicle includes a memory, a sensor, circuitry, and a display. The memory is to store a target travel route in a work field. The sensor is to detect an actual travel track of the work vehicle to find a traveled portion of the target travel route, along which the work vehicle has traveled. The circuitry is configured to calculate an index value indicating a degree of a deviation of the actual travel track from the target travel route. The display is to display the traveled portion such that a display pattern to display the traveled portion is changed according to the index value.

Abstract: An agricultural support system includes a first communication device located in or on a tractor to transmit information, and a second communication device located in or on a transport vehicle to acquire the information transmitted from the first communication device. The transport vehicle is capable of transporting the tractor. The agricultural support system further includes a position sensor in or on the working machine to detect a position of the working machine. The first communication device is operable to transmit the position detected by the position sensor to the second communication device as the information. The second communication device is operable to receive the position transmitted from the first communication device.

Abstract: A slip determination system is provided that is capable of providing appropriate control information to a traveling vehicle when the traveling vehicle has proceeded to an area where a slip is likely to occur during automatic travel. The slip determination system includes: a vehicle position detection module for detecting a vehicle position; and an automatic travel control portion for enabling automatic travel based on the vehicle position and a set travel path; a slip amount calculation portion for calculating a slip amount of the traveling vehicle body, using an estimated movement distance of the traveling vehicle body calculated based on the number of revolutions of a driving axle of the traveling vehicle body, and an actual movement distance of the traveling vehicle body calculated based on the vehicle position; an appropriateness determination portion for performing appropriateness determination to determine, based on the slip amount, whether or not a state of a traveling ground surface is appropriate for automatic travel; and an automatic travel stop portion for stopping automatic travel based on a determination result.

Abstract: A travel route generation apparatus includes a work field data input interface, a handwriting input interface, a memory, and circuitry. Work field data are to be input via the work field data input interface. The work field data includes data regarding a shape of a work field in which a work vehicle is to work. A handwriting locus is to be input via the handwriting input interface. The memory is to store travel route patterns. The circuitry is configured to select a designated travel route pattern from travel route patterns based on the handwriting locus and to generate, based on the designated travel route pattern and the work field data, a travel route along which the work vehicle is to travel in the work field.

Abstract: A work vehicle automatic traveling system includes a route element selecting unit that, on the basis of state information, sequentially selects a next travel route element on which a work vehicle is to travel next, from a travel route element set and a circling route element set. The route element selecting unit includes a cooperative route element selection rule, which is employed when a plurality of work vehicles carry out work travel cooperatively in an area CA to be worked, and an independent route element selection rule, which is employed when a single independent work vehicle among the work vehicles carries out work travel independently in the area CA to be worked. When the independent work vehicle is carrying out independent work travel in the area CA to be worked, and a work vehicle aside from the host vehicle is carrying out circling travel based on the circling route element or is stopped, the next travel route element is selected on the basis of the independent route element selection rule.
