Abstract

A control system for a work vehicle includes a course data generation unit that generates a traveling condition including a traveling route of the work vehicle in a workplace, a service area setting unit that sets a service area which is an area where the work vehicle is serviceable, a passage area setting unit that sets a passage area having a predetermined width along the traveling route generated by the course data generation unit, and an update data generation unit that generates update data for service area data obtained by expanding the service area when the passage area is present on an outer side of the service area.

Claims (35)

1. A control system for a work vehicle, comprising:

a course data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate a traveling condition including a traveling route of the work vehicle in a workplace;

a service area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a service area which is an area where the work vehicle is serviceable;

a passage area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a passage area having a predetermined width along the travelling route generated by the course data generation unit; and

an update data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate update data for the service area data obtained by expanding the service area when the passage area is present on an outer side of the service area, wherein

the update data generation unit generates the update data obtained by expanding the service area so as to spread outwardly of the passage area.

2. A control system for a work vehicle, comprising:

a course data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate a traveling condition including a traveling route of the work vehicle in a workplace;

a service area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a service area which is an area where the work vehicle is serviceable;

a passage area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a passage area having a predetermined width along the travelling route generated by the course data generation unit; and

an update data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate update data for the service area data obtained by expanding the service area when the passage area is present on an outer side of the service area, wherein

the update data generation unit generates the update data obtained by expanding the service area such that a boundary line of the service area is along an outline of the outer portion.

3. A control system for a work vehicle, comprising:

a course data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate a traveling condition including a traveling route of the work vehicle in a workplace;

a service area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a service area which is an area where the work vehicle is serviceable;

a passage area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a passage area having a predetermined width along the travelling route generated by the course data generation unit; and

an update data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate update data for the service area data obtained by expanding the service area when the passage area is present on an outer side of the service area, wherein

the update data generation unit generates the update data obtained by expanding the service area such that a boundary line of the service area overlaps an outline of the outer portion.

4. A control system for a work vehicle, comprising:

a course data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate a traveling condition including a traveling route of the work vehicle in a workplace;

a service area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a service area which is an area where the work vehicle is serviceable;

a passage area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a passage area having a predetermined width along the travelling route generated by the course data generation unit; and

an update data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate update data for the service area data obtained by expanding the service area when the passage area is present on an outer side of the service area, wherein

the update data generation unit generates the update data when the work vehicle passes through a predetermined spot on the traveling route.

5. A work vehicle comprising a control system, comprising:

a course data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate a traveling condition including a traveling route of the work vehicle in a workplace;

a service area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a service area which is an area where the work vehicle is serviceable;

a passage area setting unit implemented in a processor and configured to set a passage area having a predetermined width along the travelling route generated by the course data generation unit; and

an update data generation unit implemented in a processor and configured to generate update data for the service area data obtained by expanding the service area when the passage area is present on an outer side of the service area,

wherein the update data generation unit generates the update data obtained by expanding the service area so as to spread outwardly of the passage area.

6. A control method for a work vehicle implemented by a computer, comprising:

generating a traveling condition including a traveling route of the work vehicle in a workplace;

setting a service area which is an area where the work vehicle is serviceable;

setting a passage area having a predetermined width along the generated traveling route; and

generating update data for the service area data obtained by expanding the service area so as to spread outwardly of the passage area when the passage area is present on an outer side of the service area.
