Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display system in a hydraulic shovel has a calculation unit and a display unit. The calculation unit is configured to calculate a distance between a design surface and a position closest to the design surface among positions of a blade edge of a bucket in a widthwise direction of the blade edge based on positional information for the blade edge and the design surface. The display unit is configured and arranged to display a guidance picture. The guidance picture includes an image showing the positional relationship between the design surface and the blade edge of the bucket, and information indicating the distance between the design surface and the position closest to the design surface.
