A method of predicting instability in a vehicle-trailer combination, the method comprising: monitoring a vehicle direction related parameter, such as steering angle; monitoring a trailer direction related parameter, such as yaw via a vehicle mounted camera; comparing the vehicle direction related parameter with the trailer direction related parameter to determine a response of the trailer direction to the vehicle direction over time in order to define a response trend; and determining an instability event in dependence on a change in the response trend. The driver may be alerted to the instability event and/or an automatic vehicle safety system, such as asymmetrical braking, may be actuated. |
