Abstract
A wheel loader includes: a front frame; a bucket; a boom having a distal end connected to bucket, and a proximal end rotatably supported by front frame; a sensor configured to measure a distance between boom and a loading target; and a controller configured to control an action of wheel loader. The controller causes wheel loader to perform a predetermined action for collision avoidance on condition that a distance to be measured by sensor when wheel loader travels takes a value less than or equal to a threshold value.
Claims16
A wheel loader comprising:
- a front frame;
- a bucket;
- a boom having a distal end connected to the bucket, and a proximal end rotatably supported by the front frame;
- a sensor configured to measure a distance between the boom and a loading target onto which an excavated object is loaded by the wheel loader;
- and
- a controller configured to control an action of the wheel loader,
- wherein
- the controller causes the wheel loader to perform a predetermined action for collision avoidance on condition that a distance to be measured by the sensor when the wheel loader travels takes a value less than or equal to a threshold value.

A method for controlling a wheel loader,
- comprising the step of:
- measuring a distance between a boom of the wheel loader and a loading target onto which an excavated object is loaded by the wheel loader;
- determining that the distance measured takes a value less than or equal to a threshold value when the wheel loader travels;
- and
- causing the wheel loader to perform a predetermined action for collision avoidance on condition that the value of the distance measured is less than or equal to the threshold value.
