A method and system for pacing a vehicle along a path of travel is
described. The method includes determining a geographical location of the
vehicle, displaying a vehicle position icon representative of the
geographical location, determining an optimal position for the vehicle,
displaying a pace icon representative of the optimal position for the
vehicle, and operating the vehicle to maintain a vehicle position icon
displayed on the operator pace display substantially coincident with the
pace icon displayed on the operator pace display. The system includes at
least one on-board tracking system configured to determine a geographical
location of the vehicle, at least one on-board computer configured to
determine a display position of a pace icon, and at least one on-board
operator pace display configured to display the pace icon at a position
determined by the on-board computer, the operator pace display further
configured to display the vehicle position, as determined by the on-board
computer, relative to the pace icon.
