Track Calculation

Once the slope map is generated, the next step is the processing of the Track. To achieve this, we developed an algorithm that returns the AB-Track with the minimal slope of the entire field.

How is the AB-Track calculated

An optimization algorithm is used in this calculation to determine the driving direction with the minimal slope by considering the field’s level-lines, as shown in the picture below. The algorithm utilizes the level-line from each triangle of the calculated slope map. Each level-line get a weight which consists of the slope and area of the triangle. With that the algorithm computes the optimal AB-Track with the minimal slope across the entire field.

An optimization algorithm is used to determine the driving direction with the minimal slope by considering the field’s level-lines of the slope map as input parameters, as shown in the picture below. Each level-line is assigned a weight based on the slope and area of the triangle. Using this information, the algorithm computes the optimal AB-Track with the minimal slope across the entire field.

The AB-Track is calculated using an optimization algorithm that identifies the driving direction with the minimal slope across the entire field. This process relies on the field’s slope map, specifically analyzing the level-lines generated from each triangle within the map. Each level-line is assigned a weight based on two factors: the slope and the area of its corresponding triangle. By evaluating all these weighted level-lines, the algorithm determines the optimal AB-Track, with the minimal slope across the entire field.
