Open System for TRAcTOr’s autonomouS Operations (STRATOS)
STRATOS is an open ICT hardware-software infrastructure enabling partial automation of tractors and at the same time enhancing their operational safety and production efficiency. Furthermore it will have positive effects of reduced accident risk and environmental impact. STRATOS aims to develop and demonstrate new functions enabled by ISOBUS technology that allows a substantial improvement of the quality of the farming jobs. In more detail, ISOBUS and appropriate control strategies implemented as Task Controller modules, relying on appropriate information gathered on soil characteristics form a sensor network, are used to improve quality and precision of the farming task. Self-power and wireless sensors network characteristics make it possible to place sensors anywhere over the tractor and implement with very low installation effort. ISOBUS extension is also defined to include wireless node signals, therefore it was feasible to develop a wireless sensor network (WSN) ISOBUS compliant.
