Abstract

See full text

A load position indicating system includes a portable, stand-alone computing device for use on the loader. The stand-alone computing device includes a display, a wireless communication interface configured for peer-to-peer direct communication with an electronic control unit (ECU) mounted onboard the hauler, and at least one controller configured to receive a signal indicative of a real time position of an actual center of gravity of a payload carried by the hauler, determine a real time position and orientation of the loader relative to the hauler, determine a target location for the center of gravity of the payload carried by the hauler, calculate a new loading position for a payload to be deposited by the loader onto the hauler based on a difference between the real time position of the actual center of gravity of the payload and the target location of the center of gravity, and display at least one of the new loading position for a payload, the target location for the center of gravity of the payload, and the real time position of the actual center of gravity of the payload on an image representative of the hauler as seen from a perspective of an operator on the loader.
