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.
