Abstract: A convoy forming unit uses driving control information collected from vehicles to determine a traveling order in a convoy of the vehicles so that vehicles that can be leading vehicles are disposed at a head of the convoy and an inside of the convoy. When notified of occurrence of a cut-in vehicle from any of the vehicles performing convoy travel in accordance with the traveling order, a convoy managing unit uses the driving control information to determine a new leading vehicle from among following vehicles, and divides the convoy into a first convoy ahead of the cut-in vehicle and a second convoy behind the cut-in vehicle. A convoy control unit notifies the new leading vehicle of traveling control information including an instruction to cause the cut-in vehicle to cut in front of the new leading vehicle and an instruction to be a leading vehicle of the second convoy.

Abstract: An engine-driven working machine including a controller by which a time period until the rotation speed limitation mode is canceled can be shortened. After a throttle valve is moved to a fully-closed position by an operation to allow the engine to finish the fast idling state and while the engine is transited to an idling state, the controller cancels the rotation speed limitation mode by detecting an event in which a cycle period of rotation speed variations of the engine is longer than a cycle period of rotation speed variation in the fast idling state.

Abstract: Problems: For enhanced safety of a work apparatus with an internal combustion engine, a cutting element is prevented from an accidental run due to an accidental increase of the engine revolution while a throttle control trigger is in a released state. Solution: In an engine start period, a throttle valve (10) is in a first idling position. The engine 2 at its initial run phase does not increase in revolution because of instability of its running condition. When the running condition begins to stabilize, the revolution rapidly increases. When the engine revolution (Ne) reaches 4,000 rpm or higher, a non-firing control mode is set up. In the non-firing control mode, when the engine revolution reaches or exceeds 4,500 rpm, a non-firing processing is executed (S4). A centrifugal clutch (6) is designed to engage at 5,000 rpm.
