SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GEAR GUARD CABLE TRACKING

Systems and methods are provided to detect a motion event corresponding to at least one of a vehicle tow assembly, a winch assembly, or a gear guard cable. With the use of one or more cameras, the system captures images of a cable (e.g., a gear guard cable, a winch cable, or a tow cable). With the use of processing circuitry, a cable is identified in the captured images. The movement of the cable is tracked in the captured images. A motion event of the cable is identified based on the movement. In response to detecting the motion event, a vehicle comprised of the system and the cable performs an action.
