This paper proposes a driver assistance function for positioning a vehicle's hitch underneath the center of a trailer's coupler. Due to a rapid development-to-production cycle, the problem was constrained to use basic ECUs, which have limited performance for real-time implementation. Based on this, we developed two practical solutions to automate the hitching process by using efficient methods that do not require any additional high-end sensors, but rely only on the vehicle's existing rear-view camera and other existing sensors.
