MARSHALLING STATUS COMMUNICATION TO A VEHICLE OBSERVER

A system for communicating a marshalling status of a vehicle to an observer located outside a vehicle. A memory storing instructions executable by a processor includes instructions to receive a marshalling command by the vehicle from a marshalling controller. The vehicle's marshalling state is changed in response to the marshalling command. The marshalling state is mapped to an optical output encoded for and understandable to the human observer. At least a first status light is illuminated according to the optical output.
