US 2026/0063427 A1 · AUGMENTED TRAILER PARKING

Abstract

A system of navigating and parking a vehicle with a trailer attachment. In one example, the system includes a camera, a sensor, and a display configured to display images. The system includes a controller including an electronic processor configured to receive the image data from the camera, receive the sensor data from the sensor, detect an object using the sensor data and image data, calculate a path of the vehicle relative to the object to generate a plurality of trajectories of the vehicle around the object, perform a perspective transformation of the image to generate an augmented image, the augmented image including the detected object and the path, receive a selection of one of the plurality of trajectories. The system may include controlling the vehicle in response to the selection of one of the plurality of trajectories.

A method of control for a trailer connected to a vehicle, the method comprising:

capturing, via a camera, at least one image of an environment surrounding the vehicle or trailer,
receiving, via an electronic processor, the at least one image of the environment surrounding the vehicle or trailer,
generating, via the electronic processor, an augmented image based upon the at least one image of the environment surrounding the vehicle or trailer and incorporating a superimposed representation of the vehicle and trailer within the augmented image,
performing a perspective transformation, via the electronic processor, of the augmented image,
presenting, via a display, the augmented image to provide an enhanced view of the environment surrounding the vehicle or trailer,
receiving, via the display, a selection of a desired parking location of the vehicle or trailer,
generating, via the electronic processor, a plurality of trajectories of the vehicle or trailer based upon the selected desired parking location,
receiving, via the display, a selection of one of the plurality of trajectories of the vehicle or trailer, and
controlling the vehicle based upon the selected desired parking location and the selected one of the plurality of trajectories of the vehicle or trailer.
