Abstract

A parallel travel work system for an autonomous travel work vehicle, an accompanying travel work vehicle accompanying the autonomous travel work vehicle, and a remote controller for communicating with the autonomous travel work vehicle. The remote controller creates a first preset travel path for the autonomous travel work vehicle and a second preset travel path for the accompanying travel work vehicle travels. The autonomous travel work vehicle is equipped with: a position calculator for calculating a position of the autonomous travel work vehicle using a satellite positioning system, a steering actuator for operating a steering device of the autonomous travel work vehicle, a transceiver for communicating with the remote controller, and a control device for controlling the position calculator, the steering actuator and the transceiver. With the control device, the autonomous travelling of the autonomous travel work vehicle is carried out along the first preset travel path.

Claims (8)

1. A parallel travel work system including at least two work vehicles, comprising:

a path setting unit that sets a first travel path on which one of the work vehicles travels and a second travel path on which another work vehicle travels; and

a display means that displays at least one of the first travel path and the second travel path,

wherein the display means, with regard to the displayed first and second travel paths, displays recognizably unworked paths and worked paths by displaying the unworked paths and the worked paths differently.

2. The parallel travel work system according to claim 1 , wherein the display means displays the unworked paths and the worked paths in different colors.

3. The parallel travel work system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first travel path is a path traveled by an autonomous travel work vehicle, and the second travel path is a path traveled by an accompanying travel work vehicle that accompanies the autonomous travel vehicle, further comprising:

a remote control device for communicating with the autonomous travel work vehicle, the remote control device including the path setting unit and the display means, wherein and the remote control device is mountable on the accompanying travel work vehicle.
