  • Publication number: 20210323553
    Abstract: Provided is an in-vehicle system in which an own vehicle does not decelerate according to a preceding vehicle even if the preceding vehicle changes lanes to the right turn lane or the left turn lane and decelerates after own vehicle entering an intersection area. A CPU 107 (first control unit) controls the own vehicle to follow the preceding vehicle. An image processing circuit 106 (detection unit) detects a lane marking of the traveling lane. The CPU 107 (determination unit) determines whether an own vehicle 201 has entered the intersection area. When the detection of one of the right and left lane markings of the traveling lane is interrupted (S20: YES) after the own vehicle 201 has entered the intersection area (S15: YES), the CPU 107 (second control unit) releases ACC that causes the own vehicle 201 to follow the preceding vehicle 202.

  • Patent number: 11105066
    Abstract: Target speeds of an arm cylinder and a boom cylinder are computed in response to a distance D between a bucket tip end and a target surface in such a manner that an operating range of a work device is limited on and above the target surface at a time of operating an operation device. A second flow control valve that supplies a hydraulic operating fluid from a second hydraulic pump to the boom cylinder is controlled on the basis of the target speed of the boom cylinder while a first flow control valve that supplies a hydraulic operating fluid from a first hydraulic pump to the arm cylinder and a third flow control valve that supplies the hydraulic operating fluid from the second hydraulic pump to the arm cylinder are controlled on the basis of the target speed of the arm cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20210148082
    Abstract: A work machine includes a controller (20) that performs an area restriction control for controlling at least one hydraulic cylinder (32a) of a plurality of hydraulic cylinders (32) in such a manner that a work device (400) is located on or on an upper side of an optionally set target surface (60) during operation of an operation lever (26). In the work machine, if a jack-up angle (?) as an inclination angle of a machine body (1A) relative to a ground is larger than a preset target value (?t), the controller, in performing the area restriction control, corrects the control of the at least one hydraulic cylinder (32a) in such a manner that the jack-up angle approaches the target value. The target value is set such as to vary according to posture of an arm (406).
