Abstract
A sensor system determines an articulation angle of a vehicle with a trailer. The system includes a first sensor device, a second sensor device, and a processing unit. The first sensor device can be mounted on a first side of the vehicle and is configured to provide first sensor signals as multiple reflection points of a first side of the trailer. The second sensor device can be mounted on a second side of the vehicle and is configured to provide second sensor signals as multiple reflection points of a second side of the trailer. The processing unit is configured to generate an interpolation between the multiple reflection points in the first sensor signals and/or in the second sensor signals and to determine the articulation angle by comparing the interpolation with previous interpolations or with a vehicle coordinate system.
