Abstract
It is the object of the present invention to demonstrate a simple method for determining a geometric parameter (H, B, L, R, F) of a trailer (3) of a vehicle/trailer combination (7) with a motor vehicle (1) and the trailer (3). The invention relates to a method for determining at least one geometric parameter (H, B, L, R, F) of a trailer (3) of a vehicle/trailer combination (7) with a motor vehicle (1) and the trailer (3), in which the trailer (3) is captured by at least one detector unit (5) disposed at the motor vehicle (1) and the geometric parameter (H, B, L, R, F) is determined depending thereon, wherein in the state of the trailer (3) attached to the motor vehicle (1), at least one characteristic location (12) of the trailer (3) is captured in a first operating state of a functional unit (9) of the trailer (3) by a detector unit (5) of the motor vehicle (1), and in a state of the trailer (3) attached to the motor vehicle (1), at least the characteristic location (12) of the trailer (3) in a second operating state of the functional unit (9) of the trailer (3) different from the first operating state is captured by a detector unit of the motor vehicle (1), and depending on the i…
