Abstract: This obstacle determination system determines the presence/absence of an obstacle around a work vehicle that has a work machine mounted thereto. The obstacle determination system is provided with an obstacle sensor, a preparation unit, and a determination unit. The obstacle sensor detects an obstacle, and the detection range thereof covers a work machine. The preparation unit prepares operation information indicating the movement of said work machine which is detected by the obstacle sensor while keeping the work machine in operation. On the basis of the operation information and the detection result of the obstacle sensor, the determination unit determines the presence/absence of an obstacle by recognizing an object other than the work machine.

Abstract: This engine comprises an engine body and an ECU. The ECU is configured to execute a high idling limitation when a prescribed condition is fulfilled during startup. When executing a high idle limitation, the ECU determines a first upper limit speed, which is an upper limit value of high idling speed, and a first limitation time, which is a time during which the high idling limitation continues, on the basis of the engine temperature during startup. Based on the temperature of the environment, the ECU determines a second upper limit speed, which is an upper limit value of high idling speed, and a second limitation time, which is a time during which the high idling limitation continues. The ECU executes the high idling limitation based on either the determined first upper limit speed or second upper limit speed, and either the first limitation time or the second limitation time.
