Abstract
A work vehicle is presented with which it is possible to prevent an operator from being mislead in cases where the positioning status frequently changes. This work vehicle is provided with: a positioning unit that receives a positioning signal from a satellite positioning system, and measures the work vehicle position on the basis of the positioning signal; a control unit that determines the positioning accuracy on the basis of the positioning status of the positioning unit, and permits autonomous travel when the positioning accuracy is at least a prescribed accuracy; and a notification unit that executes, in accordance with a control performed by the control unit, a first notification indicating that the positioning accuracy is a first accuracy that is at least a prescribed accuracy and a second notification indicating that the positioning accuracy is a second accuracy that is at least a prescribed accuracy. If conditions for transitioning the positioning accuracy from the first accuracy to the second accuracy are satisfied within a first prescribed time since execution of the first notification in accordance with transitioning the positioning accuracy to the first accuracy, execution of the first notification is continued until the elapse of a second prescribed time, and after the second prescribed time has elapsed, the first notification is ended and the second notification is executed.
