Popis: Towing capacity affects a vehicle’s towing ability and it is usually costly to buy or even rent a vehicle that can tow certain amount of weight. A widely swaying towing trailer is one of the main causes for accidents that involves towing trailers. This study propose an affordable automated nonlinked towing system (ANTS) that does not require physical connection between the leading vehicle and the trailer vehicle by only using a computer vision system. The ANTS contains two main parts: a leading vehicle which can perform lane detection and a trailer vehicle which can automatically follow the leading vehicle by detecting the license plate of the leading vehicle. The trailer vehicle can adjust its speed according to the distance from the leading vehicle.
