A computer system (500) comprising a processor (500) configured to: determine (300) that a first articulation angle (302) between a first frame (102) and a second frame (104) of an articulated vehicle (100) is above a first angle threshold; determine (304) a first vehicle length (306) based on the first articulation angle and a first distance from a first distance determination device (108) to a first rear portion (116) of the second frame on the first side of the articulated vehicle; determine (308) that a second articulation angle (310) between the first frame and the second frame is above a second angle threshold on a second side (126) of the articulated vehicle; determine (312) a second vehicle length (314); and determine (316) whether a difference (318) between the first vehicle length and the second vehicle length is lower than a predetermined threshold distance.
