  • Publication number: 20240103527
    Abstract: An acquisition processing part acquires a captured image from a camera which is installed on a work vehicle. A detection processing part detects an obstacle on the basis of the captured image which is acquired by the acquisition processing part. When an obstacle is detected by the detection processing part, a reception processing part receives a traveling stop instruction for stopping automatic traveling of the work vehicle or a traveling continuation instruction for continuing automatic traveling of the work vehicle. A traveling processing part stops the automatic traveling of the work vehicle when the reception processing part receives the traveling stop instruction, and continues the automatic traveling of the work vehicle when the reception processing part receives the traveling continuation instruction.
