Claim 12:
13. A method of operating an undercarriage clearance system for a work vehicle configured to operate along a vehicle trajectory, the method comprising:
collecting, with a first sensor, ground environment data within the vehicle trajectory;, receiving, at a controller, the ground environment data from the first sensor;
accessing, by the controller from a datastore, undercarriage geometry data associated with an undercarriage assembly of the work vehicle including ground clearance data of the undercarriage assembly across a lateral dimension of a wheelbase of the work vehicle;
identifying, with the controller, an obstacle within the vehicle trajectory;
evaluating, with the controller, a height of the identified obstacle and a projected path of the obstacle within the wheelbase of the work vehicle along the vehicle trajectory relative to the undercarriage geometry data to determine an obstacle clearance expectation;
generating, with the controller, an alert command signal based on the determination of the obstacle clearance expectation; and
rendering, on a display device, a display based on the alert command signal representing the obstacle clearance expectation, including rendering the display with a forward view having a first outline of the undercarriage assembly and first symbology representing the identified obstacle that depicts a projected intersection of the identified obstacle and the undercarriage assembly based on the vehicle trajectory.
