Abstract
An emergency stop apparatus includes a detecting device for detecting an obstacle intruding into a predetermined area around a working machine, an actuator fixed to a vehicle body of the construction machine or a member attached to the vehicle body, a coupling member for coupling an output shaft of the actuator with a brake pedal, and an electronic control unit. When the obstacle is detected by the detecting device, the electronic control unit actuates the actuator to move the brake pedal in an actuation direction of the service brake.
