  • Publication number: 20240151000
    Abstract: A work machine includes a vehicle body, an object detecting section, a state detecting section, and a control section. The vehicle body includes a traveling unit and a work implement disposed on the traveling unit. The object detecting section detects an object in a periphery of the vehicle body. The state detecting section detects at least one state of an inclination of the vehicle body, an articulation of the vehicle body and the work implement. The control section sets a deceleration using automatic braking when the object is detected, based on a relationship, with which the vehicle body is stoppable, between a stable range in a lateral direction and a center of gravity position. The relationship is obtained from detection information of the state detecting section.

  • Publication number: 20230334620
    Abstract: A display device is capable of switching between a first display mode and a second display mode, the second display mode having a larger display area than the first display mode. When the display mode is the first display mode in the first period, the display mode is the second display mode in the subsequent second period, and the display mode is the first display mode in the subsequent third period, an image generator (CCP_1) makes an image to be displayed at a start point of the third period to be different from an image displayed at an end point of the first period. In the third period, the image generator (CCP_1) uses a result of the processing in the second period.
