  • Publication number: 20240141622
    Abstract: A work machine control method includes acquiring a captured image of a monitored area around a work machine, causing an overhead image based on the captured image to be displayed in a first display region, and causing at least part of a specific image to be displayed in a second display region. The first display region is a region that is part of a display screen displayed on a display device and that has a shape obtained by cutting out, as a cutout region, a portion of the display screen in a circumferential direction as viewed from an own machine reference position that corresponds to a position of the work machine in plan view. The second display region is a region that is part of the display screen and that is located in the cutout region.

  • Publication number: 20240003121
    Abstract: The work machine control method includes actuating a first limiting unit, determining whether or not the first limiting unit has an abnormality, and actuating a second limiting unit based at least on a determination result of determining whether or not the first limiting unit has an abnormality. The first limiting unit limits a movement of a drive unit that drives a work machine. The second limiting unit limits the movement of the drive unit separately from the first limiting unit.

  • Publication number: 20230407600
    Abstract: Provided is a work vehicle such as a hydraulic shovel comprising a monitoring unit that monitors the surroundings of the work vehicle, and a display unit that displays an image acquired by the monitoring unit. The display unit has an image display area in which the image is displayed, and an alarm information display area in which alarm information indicating the presence of an obstacle is displayed when the monitoring unit detects the presence of the obstacle. In the display unit, the alarm information display area is located outside the image display area.

  • Publication number: 20230392352
    Abstract: The work machine control method includes acquiring captured images of a monitoring area around a work machine, and displaying a display screen including the captured images and a detection object on a display device. The work machine control method further includes displaying the detection object at an identical position on the display screen regardless of a detection result of a detector that detects a detection target in the monitoring area, while changing a display mode of the detection object according to the detection result.

  • Publication number: 20230374756
    Abstract: This hydraulic excavator serves as a construction machine and is equipped with: a monitoring unit for monitoring the periphery around the construction machine; and a control unit for controlling the execution of a construction machine operation restriction based on the monitoring results of the monitoring unit according to the operating mode of the construction machine. The control unit executes the operation restriction based on the monitoring results when the operation mode is a normal mode which is not a specific mode, and stops execution of the operation restriction based on the monitoring results when the operation mode is the specific mode.

  • Publication number: 20230286525
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a monitoring device which monitors the surroundings of the work vehicle; an alarm device which outputs an alarm on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring device; a posture detection unit which detects whether an operator sits on an operation seat of the work vehicle and is in an operation posture for operating the work vehicle; and a control unit which controls the alarm device on the basis of the result of detection by the posture detection unit. Based on detection by the posture detection unit that the operator is in the operation posture, the control unit causes the alarm device to output an alarm based on the monitoring result of the monitoring device, and based on detection by the posture detection unit that the operation posture of the operator is released, the control unit causes the alarm device to stop outputting the alarm based on the monitoring result of the monitoring device.

  • Publication number: 20230279645
    Abstract: A work machine control system includes: an acquisition processing unit; a determination processing unit; and an alarm processing unit. The acquisition processing unit acquires a detection result of an object around a machine body of a work machine. The determination processing unit determines whether the work machine is operable or inoperable. The alarm processing unit outputs an alarm. The alarm processing unit prohibits the alarm's outputting when it is determined, after the first situation, that the work machine is operable. Further, the alarm processing unit outputs the alarm under the first situation, and continues the alarm's outputting when it is determined, after the first situation, that the work machine is operable. The first situation is defined as a situation in which the work machine is determined to be inoperable, and in which the detection result meets a given condition.

  • Publication number: 20230279638
    Abstract: A work machine control system includes: an acquisition processing unit; and a state switch processing unit. The acquisition processing unit acquires a detection result of an object around a machine body of a work machine provided with an actuator actuated in response to an operation of an operation unit. The state switch processing unit, apart from a gate lock lever, is so configured as to be capable of switching between an enabled state and disabled state of the operation unit. The gate lock lever is so configured as to be capable of switching between an unlocked state capable of operating the work machine and a locked state incapable of operating the work machine.

  • Publication number: 20230104700
    Abstract: A work machine control system is provided with an acquisition process unit and a limit process unit. The acquisition process unit acquires a detection result of an object around a machine body of a work machine in a state incapable of operating the work machine. The limit process unit creates a limit state capable of limitedly operating the work machine, when the detection result meets a predetermined condition and then a gate lock lever is so operated as to create a state capable of operating the work machine.
