Abstract
A trailer detection system is configured to determine a presence of a trailer towed by a host-vehicle. The system includes a camera and a controller. The camera is used to capture an image of an area behind a host vehicle. The controller is in communication with the camera. The controller is used to detect a position of an edge in the image and determine that the edge is associated with a trailer towed by the host vehicle when the position of the edge moves less than a movement threshold.
