Vehicle guidance system

A system for guiding an articulated vehicle having at least a first section and a second section connected at a first articulation point, the system comprising:

• at least a first sensor positioned separately from the vehicle having a field of view to include the vehicle in a current position and a target position and configured to detect at least the position and a relative angle of the first and second sections and generate therefrom sensor information;
• a computing system configured to receive the sensor information from the at least first sensor and to process the sensor information for a pose-determining algorithm to determine current pose information of the vehicle, the computing system being configured to determine a target pose and a target trajectory by which the vehicle can move from the current pose to the target pose, and further to process the current pose information for a guidance-determining algorithm to determine a guidance command for the vehicle to guide the vehicle on the target trajectory;
• and
• a communication device configured to transmit the guidance command to the vehicle, wherein the computing system is positioned separately from the vehicle and the communication device comprises a wireless transmitter positioned separately from the vehicle and configured to communicate with a wireless receiver on the vehicle.
