1. A method of assisting operation of a vehicle in a vicinity of a docking location, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a processing system, a current geographic location of the vehicle from a navigation system onboard the vehicle;
identifying, by the processing system, a reference stopping location comprising a geographic location associated with a current vehicle type associated with the vehicle at the docking location;
determining, by the processing system, a lateral distance between the current geographic location of the vehicle and the reference stopping location in a first direction;
determining, by the processing system, a longitudinal distance between the current geographic location of the vehicle and the reference stopping location in a second direction; and
providing, by the processing system on an electronic display associated with the vehicle, a docking guidance graphical user interface display comprising:
a first plurality of lateral deviation markers with respect to the reference stopping location;
a second plurality of vertical deviation markers with respect to the reference stopping location;
a first graphical indication at a first position with respect to the first plurality of lateral deviation markers, wherein a first on-screen distance between the first position of the first graphical indication and a lateral reference marker of the first plurality of lateral deviation markers corresponds to the lateral distance between the current geographic location of the vehicle and the reference stopping location; and
a second graphical indication at a second position with respect to the second plurality of vertical deviation markers, wherein a second on-screen distance between the second position of the second graphical indication and a longitudinal reference marker of the second plurality of vertical deviation markers corresponds to the longitudinal distance between the current geographic location of the vehicle and the reference stopping location.
