Abstract
A vehicle snowplow guidance system includes a vehicle camera mounted on a vehicle and configured to capture images from a front of the vehicle, a vehicle user interface configured to display images, a snowplow including two headlamp assemblies spaced apart from one another, and a vehicle control module in communication with the vehicle camera. The vehicle control module is configured to detect locations of each of the two headlamp assemblies of the snowplow, determine a centerline between the two headlamp assemblies according to the detected locations, and display the snowplow and the determined centerline on the vehicle user interface to facilitate alignment of the vehicle with a center of the snowplow for connection of the snowplow to the vehicle.
