Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A work vehicle obtains determination information from information upon detecting inverting operation, the information upon detecting inverting operation indicating a traveling state of the work vehicle when an advancing direction detection device detects an inverting operation of an advancing direction switching device for inverting an advancing direction of the work vehicle while the work vehicle travels; decreases a first traveling instruction for allowing the work vehicle to travel in the advancing direction of the work vehicle upon the detection of the inverting operation, and increases a second traveling instruction for allowing the work vehicle to travel in the direction opposite to the advancing direction of the work vehicle upon the detection of the inverting operation, after detecting the inverting operation; and sets the first traveling instruction to 0 when speed information indicating a traveling state of the work vehicle becomes the determination information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A work vehicle including a work machine, the work vehicle comprising: a hydraulic motor that drives a drive wheel for moving the work vehicle; a traveling hydraulic pump that is a pump forming a closed circuit with the hydraulic motor, and discharging operating oil to drive the hydraulic motor, the traveling hydraulic pump including an operation mechanism that changes a capacity of the pump and changes a rotating direction of the hydraulic motor by inverting an intake side and a discharge…
