Outline of Final Research Achievements

In hilly and mountainous areas, there is a need for the agricultural corporation with operates multiple, separate plots of land, to development a tool that support farming planning according to field conditions. To support planning of agricultural work in large agricultural corporations, we developed a work planning system to simulate the work time of agricultural machine. By using field polygon data and local road network data, the work planning system can calculate the shortest travel route between fields and consequent work time within a set upper daily limit. Reflecting real conditions, the calculated work time accounts for not only the work time in the fields, but also the travel time between fields. Considering the risk of precipitation, the system could also calculate the daily workable index based on the historical precipitation data.
