FIELD: controlling.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to controlling logging machines, in particular, to detecting objects in the working environment of logging machines. Control apparatus comprises at least one sensor. The sensor is configured to detect at least one object in the area of at least one predefined sector concentrated in the area between the control cabin and the end of the boom, and to detect at least one of the following: information on the location of said detected object at no less than two different times, and speed of said detected object. The control apparatus additionally comprises at least one control unit configured to determine at least the direction of movement of said detected object relative to the control cabin at no less than two different times, based on the detected information on the location and/or the detected speed of the object, and initiate a change in the control of the logging machine in response to detecting the fact that the movement of the detected object is directed towards the control cabin in the area of the sector.
EFFECT: increase in the safety of work of the operator.
