On the possibility of controlling the depth of tillage using an inertial navigation system (INS)

Abstract

The article discusses a number of theoretical aspects of the problem of continuous monitoring of the depth of soil cultivation by agricultural machine and tractor units. A method for controlling the depth of tillage is proposed, based on determining the relative position of the tractor and implement relative to each other and relative to the soil surface. Using the modeling method, the initial requirements for measurement accuracy were obtained and the possibility of using inertial navigation systems for the task at hand was substantiated.
