Transporter vehicle and transporter vehicle control method
First Claim
1. A transporter vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle;
an object detection device which includes a detection area at a front side of the vehicle and detects an object at the front side of the vehicle;
a process system which performs a process for reducing damage caused by a collision;
a specific detection area setting unit which sets a specific detection area having a width of a first dimension in a width direction of the vehicle and a length of a second dimension in a traveling direction of the vehicle in the detection area;
a collision determination unit which determines whether the object exists in the specific detection area based on a detection result of the object detection device; and
a control unit which outputs a signal for reducing damage caused by the collision to the process system based on a determination result of the collision determination unit,wherein the specific detection area setting unit changes a shape of the specific detection area based on a loaded state of a load in a vessel of the vehicle.

16. A transporter vehicle comprising:
-
a vehicle; an object detection device which includes a detection area at a front side of the vehicle and detects an object at the front side of the vehicle; a process system which performs a process for reducing damage caused by a collision; a specific detection area setting unit which sets a specific detection area having a width of a first dimension in a width direction of the vehicle and a length of a second dimension in a traveling direction of the vehicle in the detection area; a collision determination unit which determines whether the object exists in the specific detection area based on a detection result of the object detection device; and a control unit which outputs a signal for reducing damage caused by the collision to the process system based on a determination result of the collision determination unit, wherein the specific detection area includes a first portion, a second portion which is far from the vehicle in relation to the first portion in the traveling direction, and a third portion which is far from the vehicle in relation to the second portion in the traveling direction, wherein a dimension of a width of the first portion is a dimension of a vehicle width of the vehicle, and wherein a dimension of a width of the third portion is larger than the dimension of the width of the first portion.
