Abstract
For easy setting of a path of an autonomously-traveling autonomous travel work vehicle, provided is a method for setting a path for an autonomous travel work vehicle to run and operate by determining positions with the use of a satellite positioning system so as to drive and carry out an agricultural field operation. The method includes inputting a front-to-back length of a vehicle body, a width of an implement and an overlapping amount of implements (24) in a width direction, positioning a work vehicle at inflection points successively along an outer circumference of the agricultural field and determining positions with the use of the satellite positioning system, setting a work area, an operation start position and an operation end position, a direction for starting reference traveling, headlands (HB) on both ends of the work area (HA), and a travel path (R) within the agricultural field.
