  • Publication number: 20240028037
    Abstract: An autonomous travel system causes a work vehicle to autonomously travel along an inter-field route preset for a road connecting a field and a field. A travel processor causes the work vehicle to be stopped at a route start position of the inter-field route and to resume autonomous travel when a user is within a predetermined distance from the work vehicle in the field corresponding to the stop position of the work vehicle. An announcement process unit causes the work vehicle to announce travel information about travel on the inter-field route in the field.

  • Publication number: 20240004384
    Abstract: A detection process unit detects obstacles while the work vehicle is traveling on the road connecting the fields. A travel processor causes the work vehicle to perform avoidance travel when the obstacles are registered as the avoidance travel target that is a subject to be avoided by the work vehicle's avoidance travel, while it causes the work vehicle not to perform the avoidance travel when the obstacles are registered as the non-avoidance travel target that is a subject not to be avoided by the work vehicle's avoidance travel.

  • Publication number: 20220201923
    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.

  • Patent number: 8763536
    Abstract: Disclosed is a truck lateral motion restricting device which can prevent a large impact from being applied to a stopper when the truck lateral motion restricting device is operated in the derailment. The device comprises a guard angle (52) which is provided along the inside of the rail (51) and a stopper (25) which projects downward from a more inward position than wheels (15) of the truck (11) and is in slidable contact with the inside surface (52a) of the guard angle, wherein the stopper comprises a slidable contact portion (28), which has a slidable contact surface slidable contact with the inside surface of the guard angle, and guide portions (31) which project at front and rear portions of the slidable contact portion and have a front end inclined in a direction separating from the inside surface of the guard angle and a base having a guide slope (31a) provided continuously to the slidable contact surface.
