    Abstract: Method for providing parallel parking assistance including generating an augmented video stream including an overhead view video stream, a graphical representation of a host vehicle, and a first arrow for indicating an initial position of the host vehicle, generating, by a processor, a first control signal indicative of a first steering angle in response to receiving a first confirmation signal from a user interface indicative of a confirmation of the initial position of the host vehicle, generating, by the processor, a second control signal indicative of a second steering angle in response to a change in yaw reaching a first desired yaw, generating, by the processor, a second arrow to be overlaid on the overhead view video stream indicative of a distance between the host vehicle and a curb, generating, by the processor, a third control signal indicative of a third steering angle in response to receiving a second confirmation signal from the user interface indicative of a confirmation of the distance between the host vehicle and the curb.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided in a vehicle to reduce the likelihood of a trailer jackknife condition. The method includes: receiving trailer profile information; receiving a dynamic vehicle steering angle (δ) and dynamic hitch articulation angle (θ) while the vehicle is moving in a reverse direction; continuously calculating a maximum safe vehicle speed (vmax) at which to proceed in reverse without jackknifing based on the trailer profile information, the δ, the θ, a predetermined safe time to jackknife (TTJ_ne), and a maximum hitch articulation angle (θJK); comparing a current vehicle longitudinal speed (v) to the vmax; automatically generating a speed correction signal to cause the vehicle to slow down below the vmax when the v exceeds the vmax; and sending the speed correction signal to a vehicle motion control system to instruct the vehicle motion control system to reduce the v below the vmax.

    Abstract: A method for finding an optimum trailer gain, comprising: applying trailer brake pulses to a trailer while a vehicle is coasting using a trailer brake of a trailer, wherein the trailer is coupled to the vehicle; monitoring an average deceleration of the vehicle and the trailer brake gain of the trailer brake pulses applied to the trailer while the vehicle is coasting; generating a graph of the average deceleration of the vehicle versus the trailer brake gain, wherein the graph includes a curve that illustrates a relationship between the average deceleration of the vehicle and the trailer brake gain of the trailer brake pulses applied to the trailer while the vehicle is coasting; and finding a bend point of the curve in the graph to determine an optimum trailer brake gain.
