GPS Based Automatic Steering Systems

Abstract

Gaps and overlaps can be reduced through exact farming operations. Automatic steering systems based on GPS technology help steer tractors and SP-machinery along virtual referential lines. With such systems tasks can be performed with optimal working width even when poor visibility (fog, dust or nightfall) impacts human vision. The system re-lieves the driver of navigating, so he can fully focus on properly supervising the implements within the mainland. Utilising automatic steering systems increases capacity especially in field crops, especially in intensive and in permanent crops , and reduces operations costs.
