Objective • To develop software for automated creation of route plans for auto guided agricultural machinery • To develop software able to guide an experimental technician or a machine by use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems –GNSS A A R H U S U N I V E R S I T Y Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Horsens, Denmark
Background • Reduce application overlap • Increase operational performance (reduced stress and increased work quality) • Increase situational awareness • Improve repeatability • Reduce manpower requirements A A R H U S U N I V E R S I T Y Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Horsens, Denmark
Methods • User-driven approach • Based on • User experiences • Types of field trails • Field trail machinery • Commercial machinery A A R H U S U N I V E R S I T Y Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Horsens, Denmark
Methods • Research focus • Quality Function Development – QFD • International litterateur review • Workshop A A R H U S U N I V E R S I T Y Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Horsens, Denmark
Methods • Litterature review • Characteristics of plot trials as a standard method • “State of the art” within plot trial planning and execution of treatments A A R H U S U N I V E R S I T Y Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Horsens, Denmark
Methods • Workshop • Use an participatory approach to identify/specify methods and design requirements for automated field trials • Specifically extract user experience and user requirements WWW.NJF.NU A A R H U S U N I V E R S I T Y Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Horsens, Denmark
Methods • QFD • The QFD is a structured way to identify user requirements. (Chan & Wu 2002) • The litterateur review and the workshop work as tools to extract the user requirements for the initial part of the QFD. • This knowledge will then give the basis for the functionalities that has to be a part of the software A A R H U S U N I V E R S I T Y Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Horsens, Denmark
