5 Objective To develop software for automated creation of route plans for auto guided agricultural machinery To develop software able to guide an experimental technician or a machine by use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems GNSS

6 Background Reduce application overlap Increase operational performance (reduced stress and increased work quality) Increase situational awareness Improve repeatability Reduce manpower requirements

7 Methods User-driven approach Based on User experiences Types of field trails Field trail machinery Commercial machinery

8 Methods Research focus Quality Function Development QFD International litterateur review Workshop

9 Methods Litterature review Characteristics of plot trials as a standard method State of the art within plot trial planning and execution of treatments

10 Methods Workshop Use an participatory approach to identify/specify methods and design requirements for automated field trials Specifically extract user experience and user requirements

11 Methods QFD The QFD is a structured way to identify user requirements. (Chan & Wu 2002) The litterateur review and the workshop work as tools to extract the user requirements for the initial part of the QFD. This knowledge will then give the basis for the functionalities that has to be a part of the software
