Assistance devices and method for operating an assistance device for controlling the driving of a traction vehicle with trailer

摘要

The method involves detecting a position and an orientation of a trailer, and determining a straight trajectory based on the position and orientation of the trailer. The drive of a towing vehicle is controlled to achieve a target position. The orientations of the trailer and the towing vehicle are defined parallel to the trajectory in the target position. A trailer articulation angle between the towing vehicle and the trailer is smaller than a threshold trailer articulation angle. The position of the trailer along the direction of the trajectory is equal to a predetermined value. An independent claim is included for an assistance device with a positioning element.
