A control line determinator determines whether or not a work state of a work implement is a predetermined work state. A display controller generates a display signal including a target surface of a construction object or a control line indicating a surface which is different from the target surface and which a bucket is to be prevented from entering. The display controller makes a display form of the control line or the target surface in the display signal different according to whether or not the work state is the predetermined work state.

A main controller controlling an operation of a work vehicle includes a determination unit and an abnormal condition determination unit. The determination unit determines whether or not an attachment has a sensor based on information on an attachment. When the determination unit determines that the attachment has the sensor and when the abnormal condition determination unit cannot receive a signal from the sensor, the abnormal condition determination unit determines that an abnormal condition has occurred.

Work vehicle and method of controlling work vehicle

A control system for a work vehicle includes at least one sensor, an operating device, and a controller. The operating device includes at least one operating member. The controller is programmed to control a work implement of the work vehicle based on signals from the at least one sensor and the operating device. The controller is further programmed to use the signals to obtain a distance between the work implement and a design terrain which represents a target shape of a work object, and to determine whether a surface compaction determination condition indicating that work performed by the work implement is surface compaction work is satisfied. The controller executes a surface compaction control in which a velocity of the work implement toward the design terrain is limited in response to the distance between the work implement and the design terrain when the surface compaction determination condition is satisfied.

A control device for a work machine is a device for controlling a working unit of a work machine to excavate an object to be excavated. The control device includes a control unit for controlling the working unit to prevent a working implement of the working unit from crossing a predetermined target profile, and a switching unit for defining the target profile as an offset profile separated by a predetermined distance from a target excavation profile that is a target profile for finishing of the object to be excavated or the target excavation profile, based on an attitude of the working implement relative to the target excavation profile.

A control deciding unit for deciding to execute a leveling control for controlling a work implement so that the work implement moves along a design terrain when a leveling determination condition is satisfied. The control deciding unit decides to execute a surface compaction control for limiting the velocity of the work implement toward the design terrain in response to the distance between the work implement and the design terrain when a surface compaction determination condition is satisfied. The control deciding unit maintains the surface compaction control when the leveling determination condition is satisfied while the surface compaction control is being executed.

A work vehicle includes an arm. An arm cylinder drives the arm. A direction control valve operates the arm cylinder by allowing supply of a hydraulic oil to the arm cylinder as a spool moves. An oil path is connected to the direction control valve. A pilot oil for moving the spool flows through the oil path. A proportional solenoid valve for arm excavation is provided in the oil path. An arm control member is provided for an operator to operate drive of the arm. An amount of operation of the arm control member is equal to or smaller than a prescribed value in a first operation state and greater than the prescribed value in a second operation state. A command current instructing an opening of the proportional solenoid valve for arm excavation is set to a constant value in the first operation state.
