A tractor-cable-line detection system 10 is provided for detecting a connection status of one or more cable lines 12 between a haulage tractor 14 and trailer 16. The system 10 comprises cab mounted sensor apparatus 18, a processor and an alarm device. The apparatus 18 has a distance sensor to measure a distance between the tractor 14 and trailer 16 and an optical recognition device to receive a real-time video feed of the cable line(s) 12. The processor is in communication with the optical recognition device and the distance sensor and has a machine-learning algorithm to determine if the cable line(s) 12 is/are connected. The processor produces a warning output if the cable line(s) is/are connected and the distance measured by the distance sensor exceeds an expected distance. The alarm device then outputs an alarm signal 20 upon receipt of the warning output. The invention deters causing damage to cables on trailer separation. The invention is for a road vehicle or may be for railway trains.
