Driver guidance for guided maneuvering
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a position sensor mounted to a vehicle, the position sensor being configured to identify a position of the vehicle and a heading of the vehicle;
a display device comprising;
a housing, anda plurality of lights disposed within the housing, the plurality of lights being configured to generate a plurality of visual outputs in response to an input; and
a controller connected to the position sensor and the display device, the controller being configured to;
access, via a wireless communications network, a database to identify a target loading location for the vehicle,determine a location and a heading of the target loading location for the vehicle,compare the heading of the vehicle to the heading of the target loading location to determine a heading offset,determine a horizontal location offset by determining a difference between the location of the target loading location and the position of the vehicle in a direction perpendicular to the heading of the target loading location, anddetermine a subset of lights in the plurality of lights to illuminate and a second subset of lights in the plurality of lights to darken based upon at least one of the horizontal location offset and the heading offset.

Abstract
A system and method for driver guidance are presented. A position sensor is mounted to a vehicle. The position sensor is configured to identify a position of the vehicle and a heading of the vehicle. A device is configured to generate a plurality of outputs. A controller is connected to the position sensor and the display device. The controller is configured to access, via a wireless communications network, a database to identify a target loading location for the vehicle, determine a location and a heading of the target loading location for the vehicle, and modify at least one of the plurality of outputs of the display device based upon at least one of the location and the heading of the target loading location.
