Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2372667A1] The method involves assigning vehicles (2) and trailers (3) with vehicle and trailer onboard units (9, 10), respectively, where the units are carried by the vehicles and the trailers. One of the vehicles and one of the trailers are detected together when evaluation of two short-range radio communications (7, 8) with the onboard units indicates that the onboard units are moved at a limited and constant distance from one another. A phase shift is used between the radio communications for measurement of a distance between the vehicle onboard unit and the trailer onboard unit for the evaluation.
