METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DOCK-ASSIST

摘要

According to the present invention, there is provided a method for providing dock-assist during backing of a truck towards a predetermined loading location at a cargo area. The method comprises transmitting a first and a second measurement signal from a loading location among a plurality of loading locations. The first and second measurement signals together defining a guiding zone associated with the loading location. The first and second measurement signals comprise a signal identity associated with the loading location transmitting the measurement signals. The method further comprises receiving the first and second measurement signals at the truck. Provided that the signal identity of the received measurement signals corresponds to the predetermined loading location, the measurement signals are used for determining the truck position and the truck orientation in relation to the predetermined loading location. The truck position and truck orientation is determined repeatedly during at least a part of the backing.
