AUTOMATIC TRAVELING WORK VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING WORK TRAVELING FOR AN AUTOMATIC TRAVELING WORK VEHICLE ALONG A TARGET TRAVEL ROUTE IN A WORK FIELD
The present disclosure refers to an automatic traveling work vehicle in which steering control is performed in consideration of at least a state of a work field and a work type when a vehicle body deviating from a target travel route is returned to the target travel route. The automatic traveling work vehicle includes: a work traveling information storing unit (45) to store work traveling information including the state of the work field and the work type of the work device a steering mechanism (13) to change a traveling direction of the vehicle body an own vehicle position calculation unit (70) to calculate an own vehicle position a travel route setting unit (51) to set a target travel route a control input value calculation unit (502) to calculate a control input value based on a track deviation that is a deviation of the vehicle body from the target travel route based on the target travel route and the own vehicle position a steering control unit (501) to calculate a control amount in which the steering mechanism is controlled based on the control input value and steering sensitivity and a steering sensitivity setting unit (503) to derive the steering sensitivity from the state of the work field and the work type, which are read from the work traveling information. Further, a method for controlling work traveling for an automatic traveling work vehicle along a target travel route in a work field is provided.
