Abstract:
An obstacle monitoring device includes a first object detecting section which detects a relative position of a first object located ahead in a moving direction of a vehicle, based on output data of a first moving-direction monitoring sensor, a second object detecting section which detects a relative position and profile of a second object, based on output data of a second moving-direction monitoring sensor which has a higher spatial resolution than the first moving-direction monitoring sensor, an interference determination section that determines whether the vehicle will interfere with the first object and also determines identity between the first object and the second object, and a profile determination section that, if the interference determination section has determined that the first object and the second object are identical to each other, determines whether the profile of the second object will allow the vehicle to pass over the second object.

Claim (Index 11):
A work machine configured to autonomously travel at a predetermined travel speed on a predetermined travel path in a mine, comprising:\n a first moving-direction monitoring sensor that detects a first object located ahead in a moving direction of the work machine, a second moving-direction monitoring sensor that detects a second object located ahead in the moving direction of the work machine, has a higher spatial resolution than the first moving-direction monitoring sensor, and detects a side nearer in the moving direction of the work machine than the first moving-direction monitoring sensor, vehicle drive devices including a brake device and a travel device, and a vehicle control device that outputs a brake instruction signal or travel instruction signal to the vehicle drive devices, wherein the vehicle control device comprises: a first object detecting section that based on output data of the first moving-direction monitoring sensor, detects a relative position of the first object to the work machine, a second object detecting section that based on output data of the second moving-direction monitoring sensor, detects a relative position of the second object to the work machine and a profile of the second object, an interference determination section that determines, based on the relative position of the first object, whether the work machine will interfere with the first object and also determines, based on the relative position of the first object and the relative position of the second object, identity between the first object and the second object, a profile determination section that, if the interference determination section has determined that the first object and the second object are identical to each other, determines whether the profile of the second object will allow the work machine to pass over the second object, and a vehicle control section that outputs the brake instruction signal to the vehicle drive device if the interference determination section determines that the work machine will interfere with the first object, but outputs the travel instruction signal to cancel the deceleration and to allow the work machine to return to the predetermined travel speed if after the deceleration, the profile determination section determines that the profile of the second object will allow the work machine to pass over the second object.
