WORK MACHINE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR WORK MACHINE

A work machine includes a vehicle body, an object detecting section, a state detecting section, and a control section. The vehicle body includes a traveling unit and a work implement disposed on the traveling unit. The object detecting section detects an object in a periphery of the vehicle body. The state detecting section detects at least one state of an inclination of the vehicle body, an articulation of the vehicle body and the work implement. The control section sets a deceleration using automatic braking when the object is detected, based on a relationship, with which the vehicle body is stoppable, between a stable range in a lateral direction and a center of gravity position. The relationship is obtained from detection information of the state detecting section.
