Currently, the agricultural system offering the most technologically advanced solutions is precision agriculture. One of the most commonly used solutions are positioning systems of tractors, combine harvesters, and other machinery known as guidance and steering systems, also called parallel tracking systems. They enable precise vehicle guidance, even in difficult conditions such as night-time, fog or dust, and also when tramlines were not established before. The use of the guidance and steering systems reduces overlaps, which decreases the usage of fuel and other agricultural inputs, thus greenhouse gas emissions are decreased. The aim of this study was to compare the agricultural vehicle positioning systems currently available on the Polish market, taking into account their applications, available features, accuracy, and ease of operation.
