Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for automatically changing an obstacle detection range setting of an obstacle detection system based at least in part on a determination of a change in work state of a self-propelled vehicle. The change in work state may be a change from a transport state in which the vehicle is moving across a ground surface, to a stationary operating state. Upon detecting a change to a stationary operating state the obstacle detection range may be automatically changed to a shorter range. Upon detecting a change to a transport state the obstacle detection range may be automatically changed to a longer range.
