Claim Text:
1. A dump truck with an obstacle detection mechanism capable of detecting an obstacle around a vehicle using a plurality of radars provided on a periphery of the vehicle, the dump truck comprising: a backward irradiation side-radar attached, facing backward, to a position projected sideward from a front fender extended from a lower deck to an upper deck of a front side of the vehicle, wherein an irradiation beam from the backward irradiation side-radar has an angle of dip to cross at least a front wheel; and a sideward irradiation side-radar attached, facing sideward, to a side of the lower deck, wherein the backward irradiation side-radar and the sideward irradiation side-radar are arranged such that a horizontal forward detection limit line of the backward irradiation side-radar and a horizontal backward detection limit line of the sideward irradiation side-radar overlap and the horizontal backward detection limit line of the backward irradiation side-radar is directed to a side of a center plane of the vehicle to detect an obstacle in a side of the vehicle.
