Operator assistance system

A method for assisting an operator to maneuver a machine on a worksite, the method comprising:

• receiving a signal indicative of an actual position and an actual orientation of the machine;
• determining a first view of the machine on the worksite, the first view showing the actual position of the machine and a target position of the machine, the target position being located on a bucket circle;
• determining a second view of the machine on the worksite, the second view having a first and a second indicator, wherein the first indicator is indicative of the actual position and the actual orientation of the machine and the second indicator is indicative of the target position and a target orientation of the machine and includes at least a portion of a target circle;
• and
• displaying any one of the first view and the second view based, at least in part, on the actual position of the machine relative to the target position.

A machine operating on a worksite, the machine comprising:

• a power source;
• a frame;
• a position detection module configured to generate a signal indicative of an actual position and an actual orientation of the machine;
• a display unit;
• and
• a controller communicably coupled to the position detection module and the display unit, the controller configured to:
• receive the signal indicative of the actual position and the actual orientation of the machine;
• determine a first view of the machine on the worksite, the first view showing the actual position of the machine and a target position of the machine, the target position being located on a bucket circle;
• determine a second view of the machine on the worksite, the second view having a first and a second indicator, wherein the first indicator is indicative of the actual position and the actual orientation of the machine and the second indicator is indicative of the target position and a target orientation of the machine and includes at least a portion of a target circle;
• and
• display any one of the first view and the second view based, at least in part, on the actual position of the machine relative to the target position.
