Abstract
A control system for an agricultural vehicle includes a first transceiver configured to receive a first signal from a second transceiver of a target vehicle. The first signal is indicative of a first determined position and a first determined velocity of the target vehicle. The control system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the first transceiver. The controller is configured to automatically control the agricultural vehicle by determining a target position and a target velocity of the agricultural vehicle based at least in part on the first determined position and the first determined velocity of the target vehicle, instructing an automated steering control system and an automated speed control system to direct the agricultural vehicle toward the target position, and instructing the automated steering control system and the automated speed control system to substantially maintain the target position and the target velocity upon substantially reaching the target position.
