Abstract
A system for assisting a vehicle in reversing a trailer includes a vehicle steering system, a vehicle sensor outputting a vehicle velocity and a trailer sensor outputting a trailer yaw rate. The system further includes a controller controlling the vehicle steering system in reversing the trailer to cause a control parameter based on the trailer yaw rate and the vehicle velocity to converge toward a predetermined value.
