1. A camera system on an articulated vehicle, the camera system comprising:

  • an electronic control unit;

    a base camera, including a base sensor, on a first portion of the articulated vehicle, the base sensor communicating with the electronic control unit; and

    a remote camera, including a remote sensor, on a second portion of the articulated vehicle, the remote sensor communicating with the electronic control unit, the base sensor being initially uncoupled from the remote sensor, the first portion of the articulated vehicle being initially unassociated from the second portion of the articulated vehicle, and the electronic control unit coupling the remote sensor with the base sensor and configured to associate the first portion of the articulated vehicle with the second portion of the articulated vehicle based on comparisons of signals received from the base sensor and the remote sensor representing respective measurements of dynamic longitudinal accelerations of the first portion of the articulated vehicle and the second portion of the articulated vehicle over a time period, the comparisons representing sums of absolute values of differences of the respective dynamic longitudinal accelerations of the first portion and the second portion at predetermined time intervals over the period of time.
