Abstract

We consider the operation planning problem for autonomous tractors serving spatially distributed objects (farms). The working time distribution and routing are optimized in the sense of non-working time minimization. Task controller performs control within the framework of the information system on a farm. Two heuristic algorithms based on the continuoustime knapsack problem are described. A constraint on route duration is taken into account. Operation of the algorithms is illustrated by numerical examples.
