Abstract
A detection process unit detects an error of at least any of a plurality of work vehicles. A report process unit causes, when an error of a work vehicle among the plurality of work vehicles is detected, specific information on the work vehicle to be reported at an operation terminal communicable with each of the plurality of work vehicles.
Claims13
An automatic run method that performs operations comprising:
- causing each of a plurality of work vehicles to automatically run in and between a plurality of work areas;
- detecting an error of at least a first work vehicle of the plurality of work vehicles;
- and
- causing, based on the error of the first work vehicle being detected and a position of the first work vehicle when the error is detected, specific information on the first work vehicle to be reported at an operation terminal of a plurality of operation terminals communicable with each of the plurality of work vehicles,
- wherein;
- content of the specific information varies according to a distance between the operation terminal and the first work vehicle when the error is detected,
- when the position of the first work vehicle is within a work area of the plurality of work areas, the specific information is reported at one or more but less than all of the plurality of operation terminals including the operation terminal, and
- when the position of the first work vehicle is on an inter-area route that connects a first work area of the plurality of work areas and a second work area of the plurality of work areas, the specific information is reported to each operation terminal of the plurality of operation terminals including the operation terminal.

An automatic run system comprising:
- a run process unit configured to cause each of a plurality of work vehicles to automatically run in and between a plurality of work areas;
- a detection process unit configured to detect an error of at least a first work vehicle of the plurality of work vehicles;
- and
- a report process unit configured to, based on the error of the first work vehicle being detected and a position of the first work vehicle when the error is detected, cause specific information on the first work vehicle to be reported at an operation terminal of a plurality of operation terminals communicable with each of the plurality of work vehicles,
- wherein:
- content of the specific information varies according to a distance between the operation terminal and the first work vehicle when the error is detected,
- when the position of the first work vehicle is within a work area of the plurality of work areas, the specific information is reported at one or more but less than all of the plurality of operation terminals including the operation terminal, and
- when the position of the first work vehicle is on an inter-area route that connects a first work area of the plurality of work areas and a second work area of the plurality of work areas, the specific information is reported to each operation terminal of the plurality of operation terminals including the operation terminal.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- causing each of a plurality of work vehicles to automatically run in and between a plurality of work areas;
- detecting an error of at least a first work vehicle of the plurality of work vehicles;
- and
- causing, based on the error of the first work vehicle being detected and a position of the first work vehicle when the error is detected, specific information on the first work vehicle to be reported at an operation terminal of a plurality of operation terminals communicable with each of the plurality of work vehicles,
- wherein;
- content of the specific information varies according to a distance between the operation terminal and the first work vehicle when the error is detected,
- when the position of the first work vehicle is within a work area of the plurality of work areas, the specific information is reported at one or more but less than all of the plurality of operation terminals including the operation terminal, and
- when the position of the first work vehicle is on an inter-area route that connects a first work area of the plurality of work areas and a second work area of the plurality of work areas, the specific information is reported to each operation terminal of the plurality of operation terminals including the operation terminal.
