METHOD FOR MANAGING FLEETS OF SELF-GUIDED AGRICULTURAL VEHICLES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for managing a fleet of self-guided agricultural vehicles (100) each having a means for the real-time determination of the coordinates of its current position, said method consisting in calculating a digital map containing: at least georeferenced border data for the area of movement and a plurality of georeferenced indexed lines L_i, and in transmitting allocation messages for at least one indexed line Li to each of the self-guided agricultural vehicles, characterized in that at least one copy of said digital map is stored in a digital memory of each of said agricultural vehicles. The movement of the agricultural vehicles is controlled on the basis of the allocated indexed lines L_i and said position coordinates. The allocation messages for a following indexed line L_i are transmitted to a self-guided agricultural vehicle when it transmits a service message.
