agree  chris collister: "direction of travel" sounds a bit more natural, though I would omit the "travel" as being pretty much redundant.

Explanation:
"sens de la marche" can also mean "forward", but it's clear from the text that it means whatever direction is "sélectionné par l'agent de conduite ".
