Abstract
A system for determining the length of a road train includes controllers on both towing and towed vehicles. Each controller may transmit a vehicle length and GPS coordinates in a specified wireless message format. The towing vehicle controller receives a first wireless message from the towed vehicle controller. The wireless message includes at least one of a speed of the towed vehicle, a length of the towed vehicle and GPS coordinates of the towed vehicle. The towing vehicle controller determines if the towed vehicle transmitting the message is coupled to the towed vehicle and then adds the length of the towed vehicle to the length of the towing vehicle to attain an overall length of the road train in response to the determination that the towed vehicle transmitting the wireless message is coupled to the towing vehicle. The towing vehicle controller then transmits the overall length of the road train.
