Abstract: A method of maneuvering a vehicle-trailer assembly in reverse travel with a backing system includes: initiating a backing mode for the backing system; determining a current relative position representing a relative angle between the vehicle and the trailer; retrieving an operator proficiency setting selected by an operator; determining a maximum allowable relevant position for the current trailer based on the selected operator proficiency setting and the current trailer calibration data; receiving a position adjustment request via an input device; determining a new relative position request based upon the position adjustment request and the selected operator proficiency setting; comparing the new relative position request to the maximum allowed relative position setting to determine if the new relative position is below the maximum allowed relative position setting; setting a new relative position to the new relative position request when the new relative position request is within the maximum allowed relativ

Abstract: A method for maneuvering a vehicle-trailer system in a reverse direction is provided. The method includes receiving images from a camera positioned on a rear portion of the trailer. The method includes: identifying one or more guide representations within the received images; and transmitting the received images to a user interface. The method also includes receiving from the user interface, an indication of a guide representation from the one or more guide representations. The method includes determining a path that includes maneuvers configured to move the vehicle-trailer system along the path to follow the guide associated with the identified guide representation while maintaining a minimum distance from the guide positioned behind the trailer. The method also includes transmitting to a drive system of the vehicle, one or more commands causing the vehicle-trailer system to autonomously move the vehicle-trailer system along the vehicle-trailer path in the reverse direction.
