Abstract:
This travel route generation system generates an autonomous travel route for a combine for harvesting crops in a
non-worked region CA of a field while autonomously traveling back and forth along travel routes parallel to each
other in the non-worked region CA. The travel route generation system is provided with: a yield acquisition unit for
acquiring a yield ratio which is the yield per unit area of the field; an area acquisition unit for acquiring the area of
the non-worked region CA; a total yield estimation unit for estimating the total yield of grain expected to be
harvested in the non-worked region CA from the yield ratio and the area; and a travel route setting unit for
generating, on the basis of the shape of the non-worked region CA and the total yield, a preliminary adjustment
route LR for autonomous travel prior to back-and-forth travel so that the non-worked region has an optimum shape
for back-and-forth travel.
