  • Publication number: 20210025127
    Abstract: A controller determines that a signal from an operating device represents either a normal operation to manually control a blade or a trigger operation to automatically control the blade. The controller moves the blade so that the angle of the blade is changed in accordance with the operation of the operating device when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing a normal operation. The controller moves the blade until the angle of the blade reaches a predetermined target angle when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing the trigger operation while the bulldozer is traveling.
