Abstract: A vehicle hitching assistance system includes a controller executing an initial alignment process including searching for a trailer within a specified area of image data that is less than a total field of the image data in directions corresponding with both a longitudinal distance between the vehicle and the trailer and a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal distance, presenting an indication to a driver of the vehicle to reposition the vehicle when the trailer is not identified within the specified area, and removing the indication when the trailer is identified within the specified area. The controller further executes an automated backing process upon identifying the trailer within the specified area, including identifying a coupler of the trailer and outputting a steering signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to steer to align a hitch ball of the vehicle with the coupler of the trailer during reversing.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods of evaluating an IT project within an organization is described herein. Evaluation of an IT project is undertaken by receiving a first set of data representative of financial information about the organization and future assumptions about the organization, receiving a second set of data representative of characteristics of the first IT project, and automatically generating a first set of indices based at least in part on the first and the second set of data.
