Provided is a transporter vehicle including: a vehicle; an object detection device that detects an object at a front side of the vehicle; a collision determination unit that determines a possibility of a collision with the object based on a detection result of the object detection device; a process system that performs a process for reducing damage caused by the collision; a control unit that outputs a signal for reducing the damage caused by the collision to the process system based on a determination result of the collision determination unit; a time point data acquisition unit that acquires time point data in which the signal is output from the control unit; and an output unit that outputs process history data indicating at least a state of the process system. The output unit outputs the time point data and the process history data in association with each other.

Transporter vehicle, dump truck, and transporter vehicle control method

A transporter vehicle includes: a vehicle; an object detection device which includes a detection area at a front side of the vehicle and detects an object at the front side of the vehicle; a process system capable of performing a process for reducing damage caused by a collision; a specific detection area setting unit which sets a specific detection area having a width of a first dimension in a width direction of the vehicle and a length of a second dimension in a traveling direction of the vehicle in the detection area; a collision determination unit which determines whether an object exists in the specific detection area based on a detection result of the object detection device; and a control unit which outputs a signal for reducing damage caused by the collision to the process system based on a determination result of the collision determination unit.
