Abstract

See full text

A vehicle detection system for determining the position of a trailing section relative to a forward section of a vehicle, such as a tractor-trailer combination. The trailing section is pivotally coupled to the forward section for driving movement therewith. The vehicle detection system includes a central controller and a detection system connectable to the forward section of the vehicle and operably coupled to the central controller. The detection system outputs a detection signal. A target device is connectable to the trailing section and configured to receive the detection signal from the detection system and output a unique return signal to the detection system. The detection system receives the return signal and transfers the return signal or other indicative signal for processing by the central controller, whereby the central controller determines position information of the trailing section, for potential use by a DSRC.
