Abstract: It is aimed to provide a method for guiding of a motor vehicle on the basis of image data, particularly when manoeuvring trucks toward docking stations by a docking controller coupled to a steering system, comprising: identifying, by the docking controller the vehicle's current position; receiving a collision free path; and manoeuvring the vehicle by said docking controller according to said free path, wherein the vehicle's current position is identified by means of an off board vehicle scanner that is mounted in a fixed position relative to the dock station; wherein said vehicle scanner produces scan data signifying a set that are analyzed to identify a reference point of the vehicle and a vehicle's orientation; wherein said reference point and vehicle orientation are transmitted to the docking controller to update the vehicle's current position.
