    摘要: A fifth wheel coupling with a camera, including a coupling plate and a bearing element, with which the coupling plate can be secured to a towing vehicle, wherein the coupling plate has a centrally arranged locking region for receiving a king pin, as well as an insertion opening running along a longitudinal axis (x) and bordered on both sides by two insertion flanges. The camera is mounted in a position in the region of the fifth wheel coupling with the lowest possible risk of soiling and damage, with the camera being secured to the bearing element.

    摘要: A driver assistance system for coupling a trailer to a towing vehicle is described, including a video camera attached to the towing vehicle and an associated display device in the driver's field of vision, in whose video image a static guide marking is displayed along which a coupling mouth arranged on the towing vehicle can be contacted with a drawbar eye held on the trailer by a drawbar. Providing a driver assistance system which helps the driver estimating the three-dimensional position of the drawbar eye in relation to the towing vehicle while rearwards approaching a trailer. The video camera is arranged at a vertical distance from the coupling and the guide marking is formed by two beam corridors arranged on both sides of the vehicle's longitudinal axis converging towards one another in the rearward direction of the towing vehicle.
