Path Planning for Autonomous Vehicles

The path to efficiency starts here

Take command of automated fleet operations—on or off the road.

Optimize fleet path planning to make the most of every machine and moment you have. Maximize output — from fieldwork to warehouse operations — by reducing costly collisions and operator inefficiencies all the while prolonging the life of your machines.

Precision Path Planning Software

Path planning to optimize fleet operations

Make your machines work smarter, not harder

Get the most out of your autonomous fleet no matter the size with Trimble path planning solutions. Overcome a lack of veteran operators, available daylight and obstacles in the field by orchestrating fleet movements with easy-to-use tools and backed by best-in-class support.

Improve fleet efficiency

Reduce downtime and operate for longer hours

Reduce maintenance

Fewer collisions mean less wear and tear on machines

Easy-to-use tools

Designed for you, backed by support

WHY TRIMBLE

Path planning for agriculture

Make the most of every day in the field.

  • Reduce the need for more skilled operators — and make it easier on the ones you have
  • Predict and plan for gaps in schedules due to logistics, replenishment truck locations and downtime
  • Extend the lifespan of your machines by reducing wear and tear caused by collisions
  • Pack more activities into each day and continue some fieldwork after sundown
  • Customize your system with options such as obstacle avoidance and tailored workflows
  • Plan easily with software designed for operators, backed by training and support
