Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a support system for determining a trajectory to be followed by an agricultural work vehicle when weeding distinct areas of weed within a field of crops, the system comprising: a mapping unit configured for receiving: i) coordinates relating to the boundaries of a field to be worked; and ii) coordinates relating to the boundaries of distinct areas of weed being located within the boundary of the field of crops; a capacity parameter unit configured for receiving one or more capacity parameters relating to the working vehicle; a trajectory calculating unit configured for calculating an optimized trajectory to be followed by the work vehicle upon weeding the distinct areas of weed; wherein the optimized trajectory is being calculated on the basis of the coordinates received by the mapping unit; and one or more of the one or more capacity parameters received by the capacity parameter unit.
