Abstract:
A hitch angle module determines a hitch angle based on an input from at least one of a vehicle rear camera and a hitch angle sensor. The hitch angle is an angle between a longitudinal centerline of a trailer and a longitudinal centerline of a vehicle. A trailer load sensor measures a load on a trailer hitch of the vehicle. A trailer wheel speed sensor measures a wheel speed of the trailer. A trailer dimension module determines at least one of a width of the trailer, a mass of the trailer, a drawbar length of the trailer, a height of the trailer, and a trailer hitching length of the vehicle based on at least one of the hitch angle, the trailer load, and the trailer wheel speed. The trailer hitching length is a distance from a rear axle of the vehicle to a distal end of the trailer hitch.

Claim (Index 5):
The system of  claim 4  further comprising a trailer turning radius module configured to determine a turning radius of the trailer based on a wheelbase of the vehicle, a steering angle of the vehicle, the trailer hitching length, and the trailer drawbar length, wherein the trailer dimension module is configured to determine the trailer width further based on the trailer turning radius.
