Abstract
A system includes a support, a sensor coupled to the support and arranged to output signals in a direction towards a haul road on which a machine traverses, an indicator coupled to the support, a first line coupled to the support, and a second line coupled to the support. Sensor data is received from the sensor, and based on the sensor data, a position of the machine on the haul road is determined. An alignment of the machine on the haul road is determined, where the alignment is associated with the machine maintaining contact with the first line and the second line. An indication is displayed for laterally aligning the machine on the haul road.
