Abstract
A vehicle and a camera bracket include a lens hood which surrounds a detection space of an external environment detection camera, in which the lens hood includes a reflected wave reducing structure on at least a portion of a surface facing the detection space, and a bottom surface forming part which forms a surface (bottom surface) having the reflected wave reducing structure on the lens hood includes a fixed body having a portion (a fixed-side structure portion) of the reflected wave reducing structure and fixed to a vehicle main body, and a segment body having the other portion (a segment-side structure portion) of the reflected wave reducing structure and configured to be separable from the fixed body.

Transport equipment comprising:
- an external environment detection sensor which detects electromagnetic waves;
- and
- a sensor bracket supported by a transport equipment main body, wherein the sensor bracket comprises a sensor hood which surrounds a detection space extending in a detection direction from a detection unit side of the external environment detection sensor, the sensor hood comprising:
- a reflected wave reducing structure which reduces reflected waves reaching the detection unit on at least a portion of a surface facing the detection space, and
- a surface forming part which forms a surface having the reflected wave reducing structure of the sensor hood, comprising:
- a fixed body having a portion of the reflected wave reducing structure and fixed to the transport equipment main body;
- and
- a segment body having the other portion of the reflected wave reducing structure and configured to be attachable to and detachable from the fixed body.
