The study aims to \ninvestigate the changes that geolocation-based auto-steering introduces to the tractor driver during \nthat highly demanding operation. Two monitoring systems (a camera and a heart rate recording \ndevice) were used as proxies to characterize the driver’s actions and quantify driver’s physical and \nmental workload, with and without auto-steering. Additionally, the quality of the weeding was \nevaluated by measuring soil cover rate before and after the work, with and without auto-steering. The \nresults showed a change in the tractor driver’s habits and decreased physical and/or mental workload \nwith auto-steering. The quality of weeding remained the same regardless of the driving condition.","language":"eng","keywords":[],"project":{"code":"21ART3994002","name":"Autoguidage des tracteurs à faible coût pour une transition zéro herbicide de la viticulture"},"notice-url":"https://institut-agro-montpellier.hal.science/hal-05474731v1/document","document-url":"https://rd-agri.fr/rest/content/getFile/c99de98b-3305-4c09-9d25-fb1e627c04c4/Evaluating+the+benefits+of+autosteering.pdf","productions":[],"taxa":[],"production-systems":[],"areas":[],"pests":[]}
