Given a camera mounted on the rear side of a truck: This camera monitors a special pattern at the attached two axle trailer and enables thereby the detection of the angles at the two joints between truck and trailer. More exact, the system presented is capable of identifying the angle between truck and the drawbar as well as the angle between drawbar and fifth wheel of the trailer. The gained data is a prerequisite for many automotive applications especially those which allow to increase the safety during operation. Fields of application are in the assisted as well as the (semi-)autonomous driving. In our work we focus on interactive assistances helping the driver to operate the vehicle more safely.
