Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020229094A1] The invention relates to a method for determining an operating angle (α) between a tractor (10) and a trailer (20) of the tractor (10), comprising the steps: d) capturing camera images in chronological succession by means of at least one camera (11, 12) which is arranged on the tractor (10) and directed backward; e) identifying structures of the trailer (20) in the camera images; and a) determining the operating angle (α) by evaluating the detected structures in the camera images.
