Corner Cases: Headland Coverage Path Planning for Autonomous Driving in Arable Farming
Riikka Soitinaho, Timo Oksanen
This paper presents a new method for headland coverage path planning for arable fields. Several earlier approaches suggest covering the headland with nested polygons and smooth tur…
Plant Growth Estimation with a Camera-Based Vegetation Index Mapping System for Agricultural Ground Vehicles
Lukas Pindl, Michael Maier, Timo Oksanen
This work presents a camera-based sensor for mapping plant growth over an agricultural field. The sensor can be used on ground-based vehicles like a tractor and relies on RTK-GNSS…
Digital Twin Modeling of a Highly Automated Agricultural Tractor
Clay Hallman, Lukas Pindl, Timo Oksanen
In efforts to increase research efficiency and availability, a digital twin of our research tractor (AMX G-trac) is created, focusing especially on the CAN communication for data r…
Electric Axle and Wheel Module Driveline Concepts for Self-propelled Agricultural Machinery and Equipment Carriers
Timo Oksanen, Karl Th. Renius
Direct electric drivelines without power-split open new design freedom for frame and suspension design, along with often lower energy losses. This paper focuses on self-propelled a…
Design and Benchmarking of the Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Interoperable Agricultural Machinery Communications
Samuel Brodie, Henri Hornburg, Daniel Ostermeier +2
Inter-manufacturer plug-and-play communication in agricultural machinery is currently based on the ISO 11783 standard series, which specifies a 250 kbit/s CAN bus communication lay…
