    摘要: A method for estimating a trailer wheel position includes identifying a first set of wheel locations in a first image. Each of the wheel locations in the first set of wheel locations is associated with a corresponding trailer angle. The first set of wheel locations is clustered and a primary cluster in the first set of wheel locations is identified. A best fit curve is applied to the primary cluster. The best fit curve is a curve associating wheel position to trailer angle. An estimated wheel position is determined by applying a determined trailer angle to the best fit curve in response to the wheel being hidden in the first image. The estimated wheel position is output to at least one additional vehicle system.

    摘要: An example system according to an example of the present disclosure includes a wireless headset having a speaker and a microphone. Control circuitry is disposed in a vehicle and is in communication with a plurality of vehicle systems. The control circuitry is configured to provide alerts through the speaker based on information from the plurality of vehicle systems indicating occurrence of trigger events, and to determine when to provide each alert based on a priority level of the alert within a multi-level hierarchy of priority levels.

    摘要: A camera monitoring system (CMS) for a vehicle includes a CMS controller that is connected to a plurality of cameras that are disposed about a vehicle and configured to receive a video feed from each of the cameras in the plurality of cameras, a first camera in the plurality of cameras defines a rear facing field of view. The CMS controller is configured to generate a plurality of display views using the video feeds, the plurality of display views include at least one rear facing display view. A first trailer rear view display is proximate a driver side A-frame. The CMS controller is configured to cause the first trailer rear view display to display the at least one rear facing display view.
