Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic travel method for achieving efficient work by an offset implement, even when an operator who is inexperienced at manual steering boards a work vehicle, when performing work by automatic travel in a state of mounting the offset implement on the work vehicle.SOLUTION: An automatic travel method comprises the steps of: acquiring information of a work width of an implement which is mounted in a deviated state to any of left and right directions with respect to a work vehicle; generating a reference line which indicates a travel direction and a travel path being a reference of the work vehicle; generating a first target path which is arranged at an interval of the work width with respect to the reference line, as a target path when the work vehicle travels in a same direction as the travel direction indicated by the reference line; generating a second target path which is arranged at the interval of the work width at a position deviated from the first target path, as a target path when the work vehicle travels in an opposite direction of the travel direction indicated by the reference line; and causing the work vehicle to automatically travel, along any one of the first and second target paths.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10 (Grant)
