TRAILER ASSIST SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED BEAM LENGTH ESTIMATION

A vehicular trailering assist system for a vehicle includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and having a field of view exterior and at least rearward of the vehicle, the field of view encompassing at least a portion of a trailer hitched to the vehicle. A control includes a processor for processing image data captured by the camera and sensor data captured by a steering wheel angle sensor and a wheel RPM sensor. The control determines a trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle, a steering wheel angle, and a wheel RPM of a wheel of the vehicle. The control estimates a trailer beam length based on at least the determined trailer angle, the determined steering wheel angle, and the determined wheel RPM.
