Abstract: A distance detection unit detects a first distance from a specific reference position associated with a work machine to a portion of a platform of a carrier on a carrier rear side, and a second distance from the reference position to a portion of the platform on a carrier front side. A controller causes a stop instruction output unit to output a stop instruction at least either when the first distance falls from a value greater than a first threshold value to a value equal to or smaller than the first threshold value or when the second distance falls from a value greater than a second threshold value to a value equal to or smaller than the second threshold value.

Abstract: A target path changing system for an attachment, which is capable of improving the working efficiency of an operation to change a target path of a specific part of the attachment, is provided. An object point selection unit is configured to allow an operator to select one of target points as a change object point. A range setting unit is configured to set a movable range in which the change object point is movable. An object point movement unit allows the operator to move the change object point within the movable range. A target path resetting unit is configured to reset a target path between a change start point and a change end point so that the target path passes through an after-movement change object point.

Abstract: A contact of an attachment with an obstacle is suppressed, and concurrently, a wasteful motion of the attachment is suppressed. When determining that an obstacle specific portion exists between a start point and an end point, a controller sets an avoidance path as a target path. The avoidance path is a path along which an attachment specific portion moves from the start point to the end point while the attachment is led to an avoidance operation of avoiding the obstacle. When determining that the obstacle specific portion does not exist between the start point and the end point, the controller sets a non-avoidance path as the target path. The non-avoidance path is a path along which the attachment specific portion moves from the start point to the end point while the attachment is not led to the avoidance operation.
