Car with trailer, has device which outputs signals concerning respective steering angle between straight-ahead travel direction of car and maximum angle of lock

摘要

The car (10) has: a trailer vehicle (12) connected to the car by a linkage; a steering device (14) for the steering of the car; and a braking device (16) for the braking of the wheels (18,22) of the car and the trailer vehicle; There is a first angle measurement device (30) present which outputs signals concerning the respective steering angle between the straight-ahead travel direction of the car and the maximum angle of lock of the steered wheels of the car or the maximum angle of lock of the steering wheel of the steering device. A second angle measurement device is present which outputs angles concerning the trailer angle arising with travel around curves between the theoretical straight-ahead travel direction of the car and the theoretical straight-ahead travel direction of the trailer vehicle. There is also a control device (24).
