Method for Generating Routes of Agricultural Machinery Based on Digital Field Maps
The paper presents an approach to generating routes for agricultural machinery based on digital field maps using QGIS software and satellite navigation technologies. The proposed algorithm includes the following steps: preparing input data, converting field boundaries to a metric projection, creating a rectangular grid with a step equal to the working width of the implement, generating cell centroids, assigning them ordered route indices, and building a continuous trajectory of machine passes. To improve practical usability, line geometry smoothing reduces the number of sharp turns.
