An ad-hoc network manager is provided. The vehicle includes a transceiver and one or more controllers of the host vehicle, in communication with the transceiver. The one or more controllers are programmed to receive connected messages from remote vehicles via the transceiver, and execute a message subservice configured to provide, to vehicle applications executed by the one or more controller, one or more events related to the received connected messages.

A system and method for determining when a trailer is located behind a vehicle includes at least one detection device configured to detect objects located behind the vehicle and a processor. The processor is in communication with the at least one detection device and a plurality of signals generated by the vehicle. The processor receives data from the at least one detection device. The data includes a plurality of targets detected by the at least one detection device. Next, the processor determines if one or more clusters exists and clusters the targets into at least one cluster to form cluster features when one or more clusters exist. The processor determines vehicle state based on the vehicle dynamic features from the plurality of signals generated by the vehicle as well as global features from data from the at least one detection device and determines when the trailer is located behind the vehicle based on the cluster features, the vehicle state, and/or the global features.
