Abstract
The towed vehicle connection determination system includes a towed vehicle presence determination unit that determines whether or not the towed vehicle is connected, based on at least two or more pieces of information among the weight estimation equipment, the peripheral condition detection equipment, and the vehicle rear monitoring equipment. Therefore, it is possible to improve the accuracy of determining whether or not the towed vehicle is connected as compared with the case of determining whether or not the towed vehicle is connected based on only one piece of information such as the weight estimation value and the captured image of the camera.
