Abstract
A computer system, for assisting in coupling and uncoupling a semi-trailer to a tractor vehicle, includes processing circuitry configured to use information provided by at least one sensor to automatically check whether a plurality of elements of the semi-trailer and the tractor vehicle are in a first safe position, in a second safe position or in a third position. The computer system unlocks a tractor vehicle parking brake if all the elements are in the first safe position or if all the elements are in the second safe position and locks the tractor vehicle parking brake if at least one of the elements is in a different position than the others or in the third position.
