The proposed project is seeking funding to aid with 'the industrial research for a bale handling and logistical management tool that will work in line with a Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) system’. It will be designed around the Big Bale Transtacker and will apply automation, Global Positioning System (GPS) tagging and location technologies, as well as route planning algorithms to the development of an automated machinery system for collecting and transporting straw bales within CTF managed arable fields.At present there is no machinery available that can economically remove cereal straw from CTF managed fields. This is one of the biggest barriers preventing significant numbers of farmers from adopting CTF as they stand to lose £57.25/ha rather than make £73.52/ha profit if they can not sell their straw. Research suggests that if a solution to this problem were found, arable farmers could adopt CTF and see their cereal yields increase by 10 – 15% and their cultivation costs reduce by 60 – 70%. The project is to research and develop an innovative technological solution to address this problem thereby creating new markets in both the UK and abroad.

拟议中的项目正在寻求资金，以帮助进行工业研究，以开发一种与受控交通农业(CTF)系统相一致的捆绑处理和物流管理工具。它将围绕大包堆肥机进行设计，并将应用自动化、全球定位系统(GPS)标签和定位技术以及路线规划算法来开发自动化机械系统，用于在CTF管理的耕地内收集和运输秸秆包。目前还没有可用的机械可以经济地从CTF管理的农田中清除谷类秸秆。这是阻碍大量农民采用CTF的最大障碍之一，因为如果他们不能出售秸秆，他们将损失57.25 GB/公顷，而不是赚取73.52 GB/公顷的利润。研究表明，如果找到解决这个问题的办法，耕种农民可以采用CTF，他们的谷物产量可以增加10%-15%，种植成本减少60%-70%。该项目旨在研究和开发一种创新的技术解决方案来解决这一问题，从而在英国和海外创造新的市场。
