Reverse drive assistance system for vehicle combination, has input device with adjusting unit for influencing force acting on adjusting lever to give haptic feedback signal about realizability and dangerousness of parameters to driver

Reverse drive assistance system for vehicle combination, has evaluating unit evaluating actual steering angle in straight driving mode so that trailer-vehicle-angle position is brought to straight route for drive in straight direction

Reversing aid system for assisting driver of towing vehicle-trailer-combination, has image displaying device displaying movement path of towing vehicle-trailer-combination and movement path of trailer in common image

Drawbar angle and trailer angle determining method, involves determining geometric ratios and/or relative position of characteristics edges and lines of drawbar and front side of trailer to find drawbar angle and trailer angle

Vehicle i.e. lorry, has sensor arranged such that surrounding area of vehicle is detectable, where surrounding area extends in sections along long side, runs over entire length of long side and runs in sections in region before front side

Method for operating vehicle, involves determining momentary traffic situation on basis of detected traffic-relevant data, and speed of vehicle is automatically steered as function of momentary traffic situations

Bending angle determining method for use between tractor and trailer of motor vehicle combination, involves subjecting position data, which is determined by sensor, to filtration with model data for identifying object of trailer or tractor

Vehicle i.e. passenger car, has lighting device for lighting vehicle environment i.e. dead angle area, where lighting device is automatically switched on, if detecting devices detect objects in vehicle environment

Method for collision control of load vehicle, involves detecting two objects in surrounding of vehicle, where objects travel on traffic lane and counter lane, respectively and speed of first object is greater than that of second object

Vehicle i.e. passenger car, has dead angle assisting device comprising sensors at front side, where sensors are arranged along longitudinal side in distributed manner and determine distance of object by vehicle in assisting device
