System for hitching a trailer to a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for coupling a tow bar of a trailer to a trailer coupler of a motor vehicle, with an image sensor located in the coupling area,wherein the coupling process involves connecting the trailer coupler (4) of the motor vehicle (1) and the tow bar (3) of the trailer (2),wherein a coupling is detected by the image sensor (5) detecting a movement of a locking element (8) associated with the trailer coupler (4),wherein upon the detection of the coupling, a process of braking the motor vehicle (1) is initiated.

Abstract
A system for coupling a trailer (2) to a motor vehicle (1), in particular a trailer (2) to a motor tractor (1), is provided with an image sensor (5), which is located in the coupling area. The coupling process involves connecting a trailer coupler (4) of the motor vehicle (1) and a tow bar (3) of the trailer (2), which is detected by an image sensor (5) detecting a movement of a locking element (8) associated with the trailer coupling (4). Thereupon a process of braking of the motor vehicle (1) is initiated.
