Abstract: Trailer detection is provided. An autonomous vehicle can cause a first transceiver thereof to convey a signal to energize a second transceiver coupled to a trailer. The autonomous vehicle can receive, from the second transceiver, first information associated with the trailer, the first information comprising an indication of a trailer wheelbase.

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.

Abstract: Trailer detection is provided. An autonomous vehicle can receive, from a time of flight sensor, an indication of a position of a wheel assembly of a trailer. The vehicle can determine a rotation of a rotatable coupler. The vehicle can determine a centerline distance from the rotatable coupler to the wheel assembly.

Abstract: Trailer detection is provided. A vehicle can determine a distance to a portion of the trailer from the time-of-flight sensor data. The vehicle can determine a doppler shift indicative of a speed of a wheel of a wheel assembly from the data. The vehicle can determine, based on the distance and the doppler shift, a wheelbase of the trailer.

Abstract: Aspects of this technical solution can include generating, by a processor, a first metric corresponding to a first signal from one or more first sensors, the first sensor configured to detect a position of a fifth-wheel hitch of a vehicle with the fifth-wheel hitch in a first position, generating, by the processor, a second metric corresponding to a second signal from a drive assembly, the drive assembly configured to reposition of the fifth-wheel hitch, generating, by the processor and based on the first and second metrics, a third metric, the third metric corresponding to a second position of the fifth-wheel hitch with a predetermined load balancing configuration and transmitting, by the processor and responsive to a determination that the second position of the fifth-wheel hitch corresponds to a predetermined load balancing configuration of the vehicle, the third metric to the drive assembly.
