- Abstract
Currently, the multi-machine collaboration of agricultural machinery is one of the international frontiers and a topic of research interest in the field of agricultural equipment. However, the multi-machine cooperative operation of agricultural machinery is mostly limited to the research on task goal planning and cooperative path optimization of a single operation. To address the mentioned shortcomings, this study addresses the problem of multi-machine cooperative operation of fertilizer applicators in fields with different fertility and fertilizer cooperative distribution of fertilizer trucks. The research uses the task allocation method of a multi-machine cooperative operation of applying fertilizer-transporting fertilizer. First, the problems of fertilizer applicator operation and fertilizer truck fertilizer distribution are defined, and the operating time and the distribution distance are used as optimization objectives to construct functions to establish task allocation mathematical models. Second, a Chaos–Cauchy Fireworks Algorithm (CCFWA), which includes a discretized decoding method, a population initialization with a chaotic map, and a Cauchy mutation operation, is developed. Finally, the proposed algorithm is verified by tests in an actual scenario of fertilizer being applied in the test area of Jimo District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province. The results show that compared to the Fireworks Algorithm, Genetic Algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization, the proposed CCFWA can address the problem of falling into a local optimum while guaranteeing the convergence speed. Also, the variance of the CCFWA is reduced by more than 48% compared with the other three algorithms. The proposed method can realize multi-machine cooperative operation and precise distribution of seeds and fertilizers for multiple seeding-fertilizer applicators and fertilizer trucks.
