ISOBUS Automation - On the Road to TIM: How to secure liability for open TIM systems

摘要

A large topic in the Ag industry today is the discussion about the introduction of an open Tractor Implement Management (TIM) system, whereby the implement is given the control to set tractor functions (e.g. the implement requests a specific ground speed, hitch position, hydraulic valves oil flow, ...). The Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) has taken the challenge to lead this discussion towards a standardized solution based on ISOBUS protocols and technologies. After presenting the general concepts of the open Tractor Implement Control system during the VDI LAND.TECHNIK conferences in 2013 and 2014 ([5], [6]) the following paper presents the actual state of work of this AEF Project.
