Tracking Control System of Autonomous Four Wheel Tractor on Straight Path

This research is the development of autonomous tractor. Although research for automatic tractor have been carried out, but it is still developed to get more precision and optimal method. The purpose of this research is to develop a trajectory control system tractor to follow a straight-line when the working soil tillage. Model that was developed to be able calculate steering angle correction of the tractor position so that the tractor will run on a reference trajectory. Tractor position is determined from RTK DGPS. Tractor direction is calculated from two position of tractor. Control algorithm consists of the arrangement of commands to control the tractor move the reference trajectory. Simulations were performed to determine controlling algorithm ability the tractor to follow reference trajectory. The algorithm ability is tested in real conditions on a straight-line path along 30 m with a speed of tractor 0.5 m/s in a field. The test results obtained in the field of performance accuracy rate is 97.13% control and average deviation with reference trajectory is 8.62 cm.
