A vehicle connected to a trailer is disclosed. The vehicle may include a first measurement unit and a processor. The first measurement unit may measure a vehicle orientation. The processor may obtain a first input from the first measurement unit, and a second input from a second measurement unit configured to measure a trailer orientation. Based on the first input and the second input, the processor may calculate an inclination angle between a hitch and a trailer tongue. The vehicle may be connected to the trailer via the hitch and the trailer tongue. The processor may further determine that a load distribution on the trailer is not equivalent to a predefined optimal weight distribution based on the inclination angle, and output a notification responsive to determining that the load distribution on the trailer is not equivalent to the predefined optimal weight distribution.
A vehicle connected to a trailer, the vehicle comprising:
A method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
