System and method for determining a center of gravity of a trailer

A system for determining a center of gravity of a trailer, where the trailer comprises a front portion, a rear portion, and a first side and a second side extending between the front and rear portions, the system comprising:

• one or more sensors associated with a vehicle, each of the one or more sensors having a field-of-view;
• and
• a processing device in communication with the one or more sensors, wherein the processing device is configured to execute instructions stored in a memory to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• measuring a plurality of initial points along at least one of the first side and the second side of the trailer within the field-of-view of the one or more sensors;
• generating an initial trailer model representative of the plurality of initial points;
• after the plurality of initial points are measured, measuring a plurality of subsequent points along the at least one of the first side and the second side of the trailer within the field-of-view of the one or more sensors;
• generating a subsequent trailer model representative of the plurality of subsequent points;
• assessing the subsequent trailer model and the initial trailer model;
• determining a roll angle and a kink angle of the trailer based on the assessment of the subsequent trailer model and the initial trailer model;
• and
• determining a center of gravity of the trailer based on the roll angle and the kink angle.
