Abstract
A vehicle including a body and an aerial device operable to rotate, extend, and retract relative to the body. The vehicle further includes a control panel, an electronic display, a computer control system, and an aerial elevation sensor that senses an elevation of the aerial device, wherein the computer control system receives a piece of data corresponding with the elevation and generates a graphical representation of the current operating ability of the aerial device based on the elevation that is displayed on the electronic display of the control panel.

A vehicle comprising:
- a body;
- an aerial device operable to rotate, extend, and retract relative to the body;
- a stabilizer operable to extend away from the body and configured to contact a ground surface;
- a control panel;
- an electronic display;
- a computer control system;
- and
- a stabilizer sensor that senses an operational parameter of the stabilizer;
- wherein the computer control system receives a piece of data sensed by the stabilizer sensor and generates a graphical representation of the current operating ability of the aerial device based on the operational parameter of the stabilizer and the graphical representation of the current operating ability is displayed on the electronic display of the control panel.
A vehicle comprising:

- an aerial device operable to rotate, extend, and retract relative to the body;
- a control panel;
- an electronic display;
- a computer control system;
- and
- an aerial elevation sensor that senses an elevation of the aerial device, wherein the computer control system receives a piece of data corresponding with the elevation and generates a graphical representation of the current operating ability of the aerial device based on the elevation that is displayed on the electronic display of the control panel.
A method for controlling a multi-stance aerial device comprising:
- calculating a current operating ability of an aerial device with a computer control system based on a piece of data received from at least one of an aerial rotation sensor, an aerial elevation sensor, an aerial extension sensor, and a stabilizing sensor with a computer control system;
- generating a graphical representation of the current operating ability of the aerial device based on the piece of data;
- and
- displaying the graphical representation of the current operating ability of the aerial device on an electronic display.
