Abstract
Detection of trailer dynamic parameters is provided. A vehicle can receive a geometry of a plurality of points of support disposed along a longitudinal axis of the trailer. The vehicle can determine a center of mass of the trailer based on the plurality of points of support and weights bearing down thereupon. The vehicle can bound or otherwise determine, based on the geometry of the plurality of points of support and the center of mass, a moment of inertia of the trailer about at least one of the plurality of points of support. The vehicle can perform a navigational action based on the moment of inertia or center of mass.
