When the driver finishes the loading A work but forgets the end input by the operation of the operation unit D25 of the H / TD2 and the transportation vehicle starts traveling, the T counter is set to 10 seconds in response. Decremented at regular intervals and K
The counter is decremented every 0.1 km of mileage. Then, when 5 minutes have elapsed from the beginning of the traveling of the transportation vehicle, the T counter becomes 0 and the determination in step S6 becomes YES, the process proceeds to step S10, the automatic time end flag is turned on, and then the process proceeds to step S9. Proceed to create loading A end data as described above. In the loading A end data at this time, the automatic time end flag is turned on.

Furthermore, 1.5k from the first time the transport vehicle starts running
When the vehicle has traveled m and the K counter has become 0 and the determination in step S7 is YES, the process proceeds to step S11, the automatic distance end flag is turned on, and then the process proceeds to step S9 to create the loading A end data as described above. To do. Loading A at this time
In the end data, the automatic distance end flag is turned on.

By executing step S9, the CPU D11 automatically outputs the end data when there is no end input operation even if the running distance or running time measured by the T or K counter exceeds a preset distance or time. It functions as the ending data creating means D11-2 for creating.
