Camera-based driver assistance system for a traction vehicle, in particular of a traction vehicle of a combination of commercial vehicles

摘要

The invention relates to a camera-based driver assistance system of a towing vehicle, in particular of a towing vehicle of a utility vehicle combination, with at least one camera (9) pointing backwards on the towing vehicle (2). According to the invention, the driver assistance system is designed as a coupling assistance system and, in order to support a coupling process with the at least one camera (9), a trailer / semi-trailer (3) parked behind the towing vehicle (2) detects the position of its coupling device (4). By evaluating the video image material, an optimal coupling trajectory is calculated by means of image processing algorithms as optimal target trajectory between towing vehicle and trailer, and the assistance system guides the driver to the optimal target trajectory and / or necessary steering movements Adherence to the desired trajectory and / or automatic steering interventions.
