Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method and a driver assistance system for assisted reversing with a vehicle-trailer combination, wherein it is initially driven forwards, wherein a corresponding forward trajectory is stored and, by means of a sensor system of the towing vehicle, objects arranged laterally next to the forward trajectory are detected. A reversing trajectory, which deviates as little as possible from the driven forward trajectory, and, for each vehicle of the trailer, a vehicle-specific reversing corridor corresponding to the planned reversing trajectory are planned. The detected object in each case is classified as a collision object if it lies in at least one of the planned reversing corridors. In such a case, a new reversing trajectory and, for each vehicle, a new reversing corridor that is free of collision objects is generated. The trailer is then reversed along the new reversing trajectory with the aid of the driver assistance system.
