Abstract

An area registration system that causes a tractor to travel along the outer perimeter of an area (a field) and registers the outline of the area. The area registration system comprises a position information acquisition unit, an avoidance maneuver setting unit, and an area registration unit. The position information acquisition unit obtains the position of the tractor. While the tractor is traveling along the outer perimeter of the area, the start and end of an avoidance maneuver for avoiding an obstacle is set by the avoidance maneuver setting unit during tractor travel. The area registration unit registers the outline of the area on the basis of the tractor positions obtained by the position information acquisition unit during travel by the tractor along the outer perimeter of the area, said tractor positions having removed therefrom the tractor positions obtained from the start to the end of avoidance maneuvers.

Abstract

This ship docking assistance device is provided with: a position azimuth information acquisition unit; a LIDAR; a map generation updating unit; a high-point acquisition unit; and a position azimuth estimation unit. The LIDAR acquires point-group data (40) three-dimensionally indicating the environment around a ship (2). The map generation updating unit generates a map (41) around the ship 2 on the basis of the point-group data (40). The high-point acquisition unit acquires, from within the point-group data (40), a high point having a prescribed height or more. The position azimuth estimation unit estimates the position and the azimuth of the ship (2) through matching between the position of the high point acquired by the high-point acquisition unit and the position of the high point in the map (41). The map generation updating unit updates the map (41) by placing the point-group data (40) in the map (41) using, as references, the position and the azimuth of the ship (2) estimated by the position azimuth estimation unit.

Abstract

A field shape identification unit 70 in a server control unit 60 identifies, on the basis of position information about a work vehicle, the shape of a work field through which the work vehicle has traveled while working. A degree-of-overlap determination unit 71 in the server control unit 60 compares the shape of the work field identified by the field shape identification unit 70 to the shape of a reference field and determines whether the degree of overlap between the work field and the reference field is greater than or equal to a prescribed degree. When the degree-of-overlap determination unit 71 determines that the degree of overlap between the work field and the reference field is equal to or greater than a prescribed degree, an information management unit 73 associates work-related information pertaining to the work in the work field with the reference field and manages the same.

A construction machine (1) comprises a lower traveling body (2), an upper turning body (3), an engine (60) that is disposed on the rear portion of the turning body (3), and a turning frame (30) that constitutes the bottom portion of the upper turning body (3) and on which the engine (60) is mounted. The turning frame (30) comprises a bottom plate (31), a left and right pair of a first vertical plate (32) and a second vertical plate (33), and a coupling member (34) that divides the space between the first vertical plate (32) and the second vertical plate (33). The coupling member (34) includes a top plate (341) and a front and rear pair of a front side plate (342) and a rear side plate (343) that extend downward from both ends of the top plate (341) in the front to rear direction, and forms a box shape structure (37) with the first vertical plate (32) and the second vertical plate (33). The box shape structure (37) has a first opening (32c) formed in the first vertical plate (32), a second opening (33c) formed in the second vertical plate (33), and a front engine support part (34b) formed in the top plate (341).

Abstract

The present invention makes it possible to perform an operation appropriately in a work area even when a work machine that has different work positions in a left-right direction with respect to a travel position of a work vehicle is attached. An automatic travel system is provided with: a path generation unit that generates a circular path corresponding to an outer circumferential shape of a work area (A); and an automatic travel control unit that causes a work vehicle to travel automatically along the circular path. The path generation unit is capable of generating, as the circular path, a first circular path (P1) for a circular travel in a first direction in a state in which a work position of a work machine (3) is positioned on the outer side in the work area (A) than the travel position of the work vehicle (1), and a second circular path for a circular travel in a reverse direction to the first direction in a state in which the work position of the work machine (3) is positioned on the inner side in the work area (A) than the travel position of the work vehicle (1). The first circular path (P1) and the second circular path are generated such that the work position of the work machine (3) on the first circular path (P1) is on the outer side in the work area (A) than the work position of the work machine on the second circular path.

Abstract

This automatic travel system for a work vehicle has: an automatic travel control unit (46F) which, using a satellite positioning system, causes a work vehicle (V1) to automatically travel in accordance with a target path at a registered work site; and a standby position setting unit (46K) which sets a standby position of the work vehicle (V1). The standby setting unit (46K) acquires an entry point at a time when the work vehicle (V1) has entered the registered work site from outside thereof, and sets the entry point as a standby position. The automatic travel control unit (46F) determines whether or not a condition for causing the work vehicle (V1) to stand by at the standby position has been met, and, in the case where the standby condition has been met, causes the work vehicle (V1) to travel automatically from the present position to the standby position and then to stand by at the standby position.
