Abstract
A work vehicle may be provided such that in autonomous traveling, contact with obstacles is avoided, and work is efficiently and safely performed. A work vehicle may include: a positioning device 174 measuring the vehicle body's own position; an obstacle recognition means recognizing an obstacle P, E, U; and a control unit having the vehicle autonomously travel on a planned travel path R1 preliminarily set; wherein the control unit includes obstacle position information D4 preliminarily stored; while traveling on the planned travel path R1, when an obstacle P, E is recognized by the obstacle recognition means, at a position stored in the obstacle position information D4, avoidance driving is performed to avoid contact with the obstacle P, E; and when the position of an obstacle U recognized by the obstacle recognition means is different from the stored obstacle position information D4, the traveling is stopped.
