Patent ID: 8874326

Claim:
A system for assisting in docking of a machine at a loading location present on a worksite, the system comprising: a position detection module located on-board the machine, the position detection module configured to generate a signal indicative of a current position of the machine; a sensor located on-board the machine, the sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of an operational parameter associated with the machine; a display unit located on-board the machine; a first controller located remotely from the machine, the first controller configured to generate a signal indicative of one or more loading locations associated with a loading machine; and a second controller located on-board the machine, the second controller communicably coupled to the position detection module, the sensor, the display unit and the first controller, the second controller configured to: receive the signal indicative of the current position of the machine; receive the signal indicative of the operational parameter associated with the machine; receive, from the first controller, the signal indicative of the one or more loading locations associated with the loading machine; compare the signal indicative of the one or more loading locations associated with the loading machine with the signal indicative of the operational parameter associated with the machine; select an exact loading location of the one or more loading locations based on the comparison; determine when the current position of the machine crosses a predefined threshold distance; and display, on the display unit, a zoomed-in top view of the machine on the worksite and the exact loading location, based on the determination.
