Abstract

See full text

A trailer angle determination system for a vehicle is provided. The trailer angle determination system has a sensing unit for sensing a trailer connected to the vehicle and an evaluation unit. The sensing unit is arranged outside of the center of the vehicle and toward the trailer, and the distance between the sensing unit and the center of the vehicle is known. The trailer has symmetrical feature pairs with respect to a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the trailer. The sensing unit is designed to sense the symmetrical feature pairs of the trailer. The evaluation unit is designed to determine the angle between the trailer and the vehicle based on the sensed symmetrical feature pairs of the trailer and the known distance between the sensing unit and the center of the vehicle.
