A COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD OF CONTROLLING A MOBILE AGRICULTURAL MACHINE

摘要

A computer implemented method of controlling a mobile agricultural machine (100) is disclosed. The method comprising: synchronizing (300) a first control system (214) and a second control system (214) with a common time base; receiving (302), at the first control system (214), a location sensor signal indicative of a sensed geographic location of the mobile agricultural machine (100); generating a time stamp (302) corresponding to the sensed geographic location; identifying a control action (304) to perform based on the sensed geographic location; generating a future time stamp (306) indicative of a future time at which the control action is to be performed; sending a control action identifier and the future time stamp to the second control system (214); and controlling an actuator (186), with the second control system (214), to perform the control action at a time corresponding to the future time, based on the control action identifier and the future time stamp.
