Abstract

The knowledge about relative orientations between truck and trailer is a vital prerequisite for driver assistance systems especially when dealing with safety improvements for this kind of vehicles. Yet, no adequate system solving this problem is available. A sensor system measuring this desired state information by an optical approach is presented in this paper. The sensor system is evaluated using a virtual testbed that has been developed for testing, diagnosis and proper configuration of the sensor.
