Abstract: A vehicle hitching assistance system includes a controller acquiring image data from the vehicle and deriving a vehicle path to align a center of a hitch ball of the vehicle with a centerline of a trailer coupler within the image data. The controller also outputs a video image including a representation of a simplified path from the hitch ball to the coupler and outputs a steering signal to cause the vehicle to steer along the vehicle path.

Abstract: A load measuring hitch assembly is described. The assembly can include a body portion operable to facilitate coupling the load measuring hitch assembly to a tow vehicle. Additionally, the assembly can include a hitch ball coupled to the body portion. The hitch ball can include a ball operable to facilitate coupling the load measuring hitch assembly to a trailer. The hitch ball can also include a lower portion coupled to the body portion in a fixed relationship. The hitch ball can further include an instrument portion free to deflect due to at least one of a vertical or a horizontal force acting on the ball. In addition, the hitch ball can include one or more force sensors operably coupled to the instrument portion to measure a force on the instrument portion in at least one measurement axis, thereby facilitating determining a magnitude of the at least one of the vertical or the horizontal force acting on the ball.

Abstract: A system for checking or verifying an electrical connection of a trailer with a vehicle. The system includes a first connector integrated with the vehicle, one or more light sources on the vehicle each configured to emit a light ray of one or more colors, and a controller. The first connector includes a plurality of first wires configured for providing power for one or more electrical components on or within the trailer when the first connector integrated with the vehicle is connected to a second connector integrated with the trailer. The controller is configured to determine whether each one of the one or more electrical components on or within the trailer is working and control, based on the determination, the one or more light sources such that each one of the one or more light sources emits a light ray of one of the one or more colors.

Abstract: A system can comprise a robotic arm assembly, an air supply line, one or more sensors, and a control system. The robotic arm assembly can have an end effector releasably connected to a robotic arm mounted on or part of a vehicle for moving a trailer. The end effector can have a gladhand coupling portion. The air supply line can be coupled to the end effector and can deliver pressurized air to a braking system of the trailer when the gladhand coupling portion is coupled to the gladhand receptacle of a trailer. After coupling to the gladhand receptacle, the end effector can be disconnected from the robotic arm.

Abstract: A jumpstart system allows for the charging a battery or starting a car that has a dead battery without accessing the compartment where the battery is located. A connector is placed with access to the outside of the vehicle, preferably at the rear of the car. The connector accepts a jumper cable and places the dead battery in electric contact with a power source such as another car.

Abstract: A method for assisted or automatic coupling of a trailer vehicle to a towing vehicle equipped with a coupling element which has a lateral guide for a corresponding coupling counterpart of the trailer vehicle to be inserted into the coupling element, an electronically controlled service brake and a drive unit. The method includes starting, after alignment and approach of the towing vehicle relative to the trailer vehicle, an automatic coupling process, which includes starting driving in reverse at a speed and a drive torque, detecting longitudinal and lateral accelerations of the towing vehicle, and stopping driving in reverse by switching off the drive torque and/or applying the service brake if a lateral acceleration occurs in a first range of values with the occurrence of a longitudinal acceleration in a second range of values and subsequent occurrence of a longitudinal acceleration in a third range of values.
