Harvester with predictive driving speed specification

摘要

An apparatus and a method for the speed control of a harvester, in which the density of a crop planting on the field is predictively determined and a speed specification signal for the harvester is planned, in the sense of a continued maintenance of a desired throughput of the harvester, wherein with the predictive planning of the speed specification signal, the accelerations of the harvester are limited to an extent that is comfortable for an operator of the harvester.

1. A method for the speed control of a harvester, the method comprising:
specifying a desired throughput of the harvester; predictively determining at least one of:a density of a crop planting in a field; ora value depending on the density of the crop planting in the field;
predictively planning a speed specification signal for the harvester; wherein with the predictive planning of the speed specification signal, the desired throughput of the harvester is attempted to be maintained while an acceleration of the harvester resulting from the speed specification signal is limited based at least in part on a comfort level of an operator of the harvester; and controlling the speed of the harvester based on the speed specification signal.
