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: A work-vehicle position measurement system includes a reference station and a work vehicle. The reference station is provided at a reference position to measure a measured position of the reference position by receiving a radio wave from a satellite and to transmit reference information including the measured position. The work vehicle includes circuitry configured to obtain a calculated position of the work vehicle based on satellite information from the satellite and the reference information transmitted from the reference station, to control the work vehicle to travel along a predetermined travel route in a work field based on the calculated position of the work vehicle, and to manage map data of the work field to correspond to the reference information of the reference position.

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 working machine includes a machine body capable of traveling, a position detector to detect a position of the machine body, and a controller to control the machine body based on the position of the machine body detected by the position detector and a planned travel route. The planned travel route includes a straight section on which the machine body travels straight, and the controller includes a threshold setter to set a threshold according to work, and causes the machine body to perform a recovery movement to make a deviation between the position of the machine body detected by the position detector and the planned travel route less than the threshold when the machine body is at a start point of the straight section or is about to enter the start point of the straight section.

Abstract: A working machine includes a machine body, a lifting device to link a working device to the machine body, the lifting device being capable of moving up and down with the working device between a grounding state in which the working device is in contact with a ground and an ungrounding state in which the working device is out of contact with the ground, and an automatic travel controller to cause the machine body to perform automatic travel according to a planned travel route. The automatic travel controller includes a lifting controller to control the lifting device to move up with the working device from the grounding state to the ungrounding state, and cause the machine body to turn or travel rearward after the lifting controller controls the lifting device to move up with the working device from the grounding state to the ungrounding state.

Abstract: An agricultural machine includes a traveling vehicle body, a detector to detect objects in an area surrounding the traveling vehicle body, a detection adjuster to adjust a detection direction of the detector, a position sensor to detect a position of the traveling vehicle body, and an information acquirer to acquire information relating to an entrance/exit of an agricultural field. The detection adjuster is operable to perform a first adjustment of orienting the detection direction toward an end point of the entrance/exit when the traveling vehicle body is traveling toward the entrance/exit and a distance from the position of the traveling vehicle body to the entrance/exit included in the information is a predetermined value or less, and a second adjustment of orienting the detection direction toward the end point of the entrance/exit or a space forward of the end point in a traveling direction when the traveling vehicle body is traveling on the entrance/exit.

Abstract: A travel route generation device for a field work vehicle includes a memory and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to generate, based on field data stored in the memory, a travel route. The circuitry is configured to determine a getting-off point in the travel route at which a driver gets off the field work vehicle. The circuitry is configured to determine a getting-on point in the travel route at which the driver gets on the field work vehicle. The circuitry is configured to define a first partial route in the travel route between the entrance and the getting-off point and a second partial travel route in the travel route between the getting-on point and the entrance as a manual travel route. The circuitry is configured to define a third partial travel route in the travel route between the getting-off point and the getting-on point as an automatic travel route.
