Patent ID: 8812198

Claim:
A system for assisting in docking of a machine at a loading location located on a worksite, the system comprising: a first controller located off-board the machine, the first controller configured to generate a list of loading locations associated with one or more loading machines on the work site; a position detection unit located on-board the machine, the position detection unit configured to generate a signal indicative of a current position of the machine on the work site; a display unit located on-board the machine; and a second controller located on-board the machine, the second controller communicably coupled to the first controller, the position detection unit, and the display unit, the second controller configured to: receive the list of loading locations; receive the signal indicative of the current position of the machine; display a subset of the list of loading locations; eliminate one or more loading locations from the list of the loading locations based on one or more parameters associated with the machine and an inactive status associated with the loading location, and wherein the one or more parameters include at least one of a speed of the machine, a heading of the machine, a distance between the current position of the machine and the loading location, and a pre-assigned loading machine associated with the machine; select a target loading location from the subset of the list of loading locations when the machine is in a reverse gear setting, wherein the selection is based on a relative distance between the current position of the machine and each of the loading locations from the subset of the list of loading locations; and display a zoomed in top view of the current position of the machine and the target loading location, based on the selection.
