  • Publication number: 20220297601
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control system (1) for providing assistance to an occupant of a vehicle (V1). The control system (1) is configured to receive hitch angle data indicative of a hitch angle (?) of a towed vehicle (V2) coupled to the towing vehicle (V1). The control system (1) selects first and second image data subsets of at least first image data (DIMG1). The first image data subset represents a first viewport (VPL, VPR) on a first side of the towing vehicle (V1) and the second image data subset representing a second viewport (VPL, VPR) on a second side of the towing vehicle (V1). A signal (SOUT1) indicative of the first image data subset and the second image data subset is output to at least one display (5) for displaying the first viewport (VPL, VPR) and the second viewport (VPL, VPR) to the occupant of the towing vehicle (V1). The control system (1) is configured to select the first image data subset and the second image data subset in dependence on the hitch angle data.
