Abstract

Methods, devices and apparatuses pertaining to U-turn assistance are described. A computing device may receive a request for towing information and displaying at least a portion of the towing information. The computing device may further receive a user selection of a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle, and then determine one or more specifications of the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle based on the user selection. The computing device may further calculate one or more vehicle parameters corresponding to a combination of the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle based on the one or more specifications.
