    Abstract: A method for arranging individual vehicles in a platoon includes determining a desired longitudinal offset and/or a desired transverse offset for at least one respective individual vehicle by determining at least one wind factor that characterizes how prevailing wind in a vehicle environment acts on the at least one respective individual vehicle of the platoon. The method further includes specifying the desired transverse offset and/or the desired longitudinal offset for the at least one respective individual vehicle of the platoon in dependence upon the at least one wind factor in such a manner that an air resistance acting on the at least one respective individual vehicle of the platoon reduces under the prevailing wind.

    Abstract: A method for determining, by a utility vehicle having a trailer coupling, an articulation angle between the utility vehicle and a coupled vehicle trailer includes determining, with a model, a modelled value of the articulation angle or an articulation angle change. The method further includes determining, with a sensor unit, a measured value of an articulation angle or of an articulation angle change, and deriving, from the measured value, a correction value. The method additionally includes correcting the modelled value as a function of the correction value, and outputting the corrected modelled value as an output value of an articulation angle.

    Abstract: A method for distance control of a subject vehicle in relation to a front vehicle. The method includes setting, by an adaptive cruise control of the subject vehicle, an automatic distance control mode, wherein: a front object in front of the subject vehicle is detected by an environmental detection system of the subject vehicle, the front object is recognized as the front vehicle, and a distance to the front vehicle is regulated to an adaptive cruise control (ACC) target distance. The method further includes establishing that a safe following driving situation is present based on at least one criteria being met. The method additionally includes outputting, to a driver upon establishing that the safe following driving situation is present, a display signal, and setting, upon input of a confirmation signal by the driver, an automatic distance control platooning mode.

    Abstract: A sensor system, for determining an angular change between a utility vehicle and a coupled vehicle trailer, includes a sensor unit having a wheel mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis, and a rotary encoder connected to the wheel and configured to detect a change in position of the wheel. The sensor system further includes a mount having at least one first fixed part configured to connect the sensor system to the utility vehicle or a part thereof, and at least one movable part connected to the sensor unit and mounted so as to be movable on the fixed part. In addition, the sensor system includes a positioning mechanism configured to provide sprung bearing of the movable part in an operating position such that the wheel of the sensor unit can be moved into contact with a vehicle trailer or a part of the vehicle trailer.
