Abstract
A system for estimating an articulation angle of a vehicle combination comprises a motion sensor for sensing one or more linear and/or angular motion quantities of the vehicle combination and a dynamics-based estimator configured to estimate state variables, including the articulation angle on the basis of the sensed motion quantities, wherein the dynamics-based estimator is dependent on one or more masses and moments of inertia of the vehicle combination.
