Method for controlling an agricultural machine system
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an agricultural machine system while it works a territory (S), comprising the steps of creating a route (R) for the machine system, which includes working tracks (FN) along which the machine system is driven while the territory (S) is being worked, and which includes headland tracks (FV), along which the machine system is driven when it travels from one working track (FN) to the next working track (FN);
- automatically processing by the machine system a sequence of headland working steps at the end of one working track (FN) and/or while a subsequent headland track (FV) is being driven along, and/or at the beginning of a subsequent working track (FN); and
updating and carrying out dynamically the sequence of headland working steps depending on the current position of the machine system and depending on the next working track (FN) to be driven along.

Abstract
For controlling an agricultural machine system while it works a territory, which a route (R) is created for the machine system, which includes working tracks (FN) along which the machine system is driven while the territory (S) is being worked, and which includes headland tracks (FV), along which the machine system is driven when it travels from one working track (FN) to the next working track (FN) to be driven along. The machine system automatically processes a sequence of headland working steps at the end of one working track (FN) and/or while a subsequent headland track (FV) is being driven along, and/or at the beginning of a subsequent working track (FN). The sequence of headland working steps is updated and carried out dynamically depending on the current position of the machine system and depending on the next working track (FN) to be driven along. A related automatic control system for controlling an agricultural machine system is also provided.

10. Automatic control system for controlling an agricultural machine system on a territory (S) to be worked, comprising a position data determination device for automatically detecting current position data (PD) about the machine system;
- a route planning system for creating a route (R) for the machine system, which includes working tracks (FN) along which the machine system is driven while the territory (S) is being worked, and which includes headland tracks (FV), along which the machine system is driven when it travels from one working track (FN) to the next working track (FN);
a headland management system which controls the machine system such that a sequence of headland working steps is carried out automatically at the end of a working track (FN) and/or while a subsequent headland track (FV) is being driven along, and/or at the beginning of a subsequent driving track (FN);
the headland management system is designed such that the sequence of headland working steps is updated and carried out dynamically depending on the current position of the machine system and depending on the next working track (FN) to be driven along.
- a route planning system for creating a route (R) for the machine system, which includes working tracks (FN) along which the machine system is driven while the territory (S) is being worked, and which includes headland tracks (FV), along which the machine system is driven when it travels from one working track (FN) to the next working track (FN);
