- the processing by the machine controller 26a may be distributed to a plurality of controllers and executed.
- the above-mentioned processing may be distributed to a plurality of processors and executed.
- the automatic operation process and the deviation prevention control process are not limited to those of the above-described embodiment, and may be changed, omitted, or added.
- the execution order of the automatic operation processing and the deviation prevention control processing is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, and may be changed.
- the remote controller 2 may output an alarm.
- the alarm may be an image or text displayed on the display 4.
- the alarm may be voice.
- the deviation prevention control may be applied not only when the work machines 1a and 1b are moving forward in the work paths 51 and 54, but also when the work machines 1a and 1b are moving backward.
- a part of the processing by the machine controller 26a may be executed by the remote controller 2.
- Part of the processing by the remote controller 2 may be executed by the machine controller 26a.
- the automatic operation process may be executed by the machine controllers of the work machines 1a and 1b, respectively.
- the deviation prevention control process may be executed by the machine controllers of the work machines 1a and 1b, respectively.
