The stroke data represent input operations by the operator of the hydraulic excavator through electric operating levers, and the movement quantity data represent movement quantities of operating members for a front working device equipped with the hydraulic excavator, the operating member being operated according to the input operations. The operational data storage device stores, in an initial state, the operational data in the volatile storage section, generates a save and exit signal if a posture parameter detected at a posture detection sensor included in the hydraulic excavator exceeds a predetermined posture threshold, and responsive to the save and exit signal, switches a write destination of the operational data from the volatile storage section to the non-volatile storage section.

Abstract: Techniques are discussed for controlling a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, based on occluded areas in an environment. An occluded area can represent areas where sensors of the vehicle are unable to sense portions of the environment due to obstruction by another object or sensor limitation. An occluded region for an object is determined, along with one or more visible regions proximate the occluded region. Entry and/or exit regions may be determined based on known directions of traffic and/or drivable surface boundaries. Based on a threshold speed, the vehicle can designate portions of the occluded region as pseudo-visible. Additionally, if a dynamic object traverses through the occluded region from the entry region, a portion of the occluded region may be considered pseudo-visible. Pseudo-visibility may also be determined based on movement of an occluded area. The vehicle can be controlled to traverse the environment based on the pseudo-visibility.
