Abstract
To advance a dump truck quickly and smoothly to a position where target loading work will be performed relative to an excavating machine, the dump truck is placed in loading target position relative to the excavating machine. Geographic position is detected from GPS satellites of a GPS receiver of the dump truck. The position and direction of the geographic position is transmitted to the excavating machine as a target position image. The target position image and an approach route leading to the position are displayed on a dump truck display when the truck thereafter approaches the position. The dump truck thereafter approaches the position, and the truck is driven so that a current position image advances along the approach route to the target position image, whereby the dump truck is placed in the set loading image target position.
