Harvester with Predictive Driving Speed Specification
First Claim
Patent Images
1. Method for the speed control of a harvester, the method comprising:
- 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 to continuously maintain a desired throughput of the harvester;
wherein with the predictive planning of the speed specification signal, 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.

Abstract
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.

7. An apparatus for the speed control of a harvester, the apparatus comprising:
-
a device for predictive determination of; a density of a crop planting in the field;
ora value dependent on the density of the crop planting in the field; a planning device for predictive planning of a speed specification signal for the harvester in order to continuously maintain a desired throughput of the harvester; wherein the planning device is operable to limit, with the predictive planning of the speed specification signal, the accelerations of the harvester resulting from the speed specification signal to an extent that is comfortable for an operator of the harvester; and means for controlling the speed of the harvester based on the speed specification signal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
