A trailer backup assist system is provided herein. A camera captures images of a trailer connected to a vehicle. A display has a screen for displaying captured images and registering a touch event thereon to assign a target on the imaged trailer. A controller processes the captured images and tracks the target to determine a hitch angle between the vehicle and the trailer while the vehicle is automatically steered during a trailer backup maneuver.

1. A trailer backup assist system comprising: a camera for capturing images of a trailer connected to a vehicle;a display having a screen for displaying captured images and registering a touch event thereon to assign a target on the trailer; anda controller for processing the captured images and tracking the target to determine a hitch angle between the vehicle and the trailer while the vehicle is automatically steered during a trailer backup maneuver, wherein the hitch angle is determined based on changes in pixels of the captured images that relate to an angular position change of the target. 2. The trailer backup assist system of claim 1, wherein the target comprises a number of points on the trailer, wherein the points correspond to objects or features of the trailer. 3. The trailer backup assist system of claim 1, wherein if the target becomes lost, the controller calculates a time in which to reach a maximum controllable hitch angle at a current trailer yaw rate. 4. The trailer backup assist system of claim 3, wherein if the calculated time is above a predetermined threshold, the controller estimates the hitch angle based on a trailer yaw rate, a vehicle yaw rate, and a vehicle speed. 5. The trailer backup assist system of claim 3, wherein if the calculated time is below a predetermined threshold, the controller initiates a preventative countermeasure for reducing the hitch angle and a speed of the vehicle. 6. A trailer backup assist system comprising: a camera for capturing images of a trailer connected to a vehicle; anda controller for processing the captured images and tracking a target on the trailer to determine a hitch angle between the vehicle and the trailer during a trailer backup maneuver, wherein if the target becomes lost, the controller calculates a time in which to reach a maximum controllable hitch angle at a current trailer yaw rate. 7. The trailer backup assist system of claim 6, wherein the target is at least one of a sticker applied to the trailer. 8. The trailer backup assist system of claim 6, wherein the target comprises a number of points on the trailer, wherein the points correspond to objects or features of the trailer and are assigned via one or more touch events on a screen of a vehicle display. 9. The trailer backup assist system of claim 8, wherein the hitch angle is determined based on changes in pixels of the captured images that relate to an angular position change of the target. 10. The trailer backup assist system of claim 6, wherein if the calculated time is above a predetermined threshold, the controller estimates the hitch angle based on a trailer yaw rate, a vehicle yaw rate, and a vehicle speed. 11. The trailer backup assist system of claim 6, wherein if the calculated time is below a predetermined threshold, the controller initiates a preventative countermeasure for reducing the hitch angle and a speed of the vehicle. 12. A hitch angle monitoring method, comprising the steps of: capturing images of a trailer that is connected to a vehicle;displaying the captured images on a screen of a vehicle display;registering a touch event on the screen to assign a target on the trailer; andprocessing the captured images to track the target to determine a hitch angle between the vehicle and the trailer while the trailer is automatically steered during a trailer backup maneuver, wherein the target comprises a number of points on the trailer, wherein the points correspond to objects or features of the trailer, and wherein the hitch angle is determined based on changes in pixels of the captured images that relate to an angular position change of the target. 13. The hitch angle monitoring method of claim 12, further comprising the step of aligning the vehicle and the trailer before assigning the target on the trailer. 14. The hitch angle monitoring method of claim 13, wherein if the calculated time is above a predetermined threshold, the controller estimates the hitch angle based on a trailer yaw rate, a vehicle yaw rate, and a vehicle speed. 15. The hitch angle monitoring method of claim 13, wherein if the calculated time is below a predetermined threshold, the controller initiates a preventative countermeasure for reducing a potential jackknife situation. 16. The hitch angle monitoring method of claim 15, wherein the preventative countermeasure includes alerting an operator of the vehicle to assume control of at least one of a steering device of the vehicle and a vehicle brake control system of the vehicle. 17. The hitch angle monitoring method of claim 15, wherein the preventative countermeasure includes actively controlling at least one of a power assist steering system, a vehicle brake control system, and a powertrain control system of the vehicle to reduce the hitch angle and the speed of the vehicle. 18. The hitch angle monitoring method of claim 12, wherein if the target becomes lost, the controller calculates a time in which to reach a maximum controllable hitch angle at a current trailer yaw rate.
