Abstract
The invention is a system for optimizing a trailer path. The system includes an image sensor configured to capture images of a trailer attached to a tow vehicle, accelerometers that sense acceleration of at least one of the tow vehicle and the trailer, a data input device configured to receive input data, and a processing device. The processing device includes a processor and non-volatile memory. The processor is configured to receive image data from the image sensor, receive accelerometer data from the one or more accelerometers and receive the input data from the data input device. Additionally, the processor is configured to determine a trailer path based on the image data, accelerometer data, and the input data. The processor is also configured to communicate the trailer path to a user or vehicle control system, thereby prompting adjustments to the tow vehicle path and or acceleration when the trailer path is not optimum.
