  • Patent number: 11768284
    Abstract: A detection system includes a radar-unit and a controller-circuit. The radar-unit is configured to detect objects proximate a host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is in communication with the radar-unit and is configured to determine a detection-distribution based on the radar-unit. The detection-distribution is characterized by a longitudinal-distribution of zero-range-rate detections associated with a trailer towed by the host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is further configured to determine a trailer-classification based on a comparison of the detection-distribution and longitudinal-distribution-models stored in the controller-circuit. The trailer-classification is indicative of a dimension of the trailer. The controller-circuit determines a trailer-length of the trailer based on the detection-distribution and the trailer-classification.
