A computer system comprising a processor configured to determine that a first articulation angle between a first frame and a second frame of an articulated vehicle is above a first angle threshold; determine a first vehicle length based on the first articulation angle and a first distance from a first distance determination device to a first rear portion of the second frame on a first side of the articulated vehicle; determine that a second articulation angle between the first frame and the second frame is above a second angle threshold on a second side of the articulated vehicle; determine a second vehicle length; and determine whether a difference between the first vehicle length and the second vehicle length is lower than a predetermined threshold distance.

System and method for determining a length of a vehicle

A computer implemented method of controlling an auxiliary system of a transportation vehicle, the method comprising determining, by a processing circuitry, manual actuation of a start actuator of the vehicle for a predetermined duration; determining, by the processing circuitry, a driver seat state of a driver seat of the vehicle as being occupied or not occupied; determining, by the processing circuitry, a door state of a driver side door of the vehicle as being open or closed; and controlling, by the processing circuitry, operation of the auxiliary system according to a predetermined set of rules based on the driver seat state and the door state.

Method of controlling an auxiliary system of a transportation vehicle

A computer-implemented method for warning road users of a hazardous operating condition of a heavy-duty vehicle. The method comprises obtaining, by a processor device of a computer system, a speed limit interval associated with a road on which a heavy-duty vehicle is travelling, and wherein the speed limit interval is based on a speed limit of the road; determining, by the processor device, that a travelling speed of the heavy-duty vehicle is outside the speed limit interval; determining, by the processor device, that a travelling angle of the heavy-duty vehicle and/or of the road on which the heavy-duty vehicle is travelling is outside a predetermined travelling angle range; and automatically controlling, by the processor device, the vehicle hazard lights of the heavy-duty vehicle based on the travelling speed and the travelling angle.

Method for warning of hazardous operating conditions of a vehicle

A computer system comprising a processor device is provided. The processor device is configured to determine electronic communication with at least two trailers attached to a vehicle, the trailers and the vehicle each being equipped with a rear-view camera; determine a rearmost camera of the rear view cameras; and activate feed from the rearmost camera to a display of the vehicle.
