    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus and a vehicle for trailer angle measurement, applied in a semi-trailer including a tractor and a trailer. At least one LiDAR is provided on each of two sides of a rear part of the tractor. A reflector with a reflective surface is fixedly provided at a front part of the trailer, and the reflective surface faces the LiDARs. The method includes: controlling the LiDARs to emit laser light, such that the reflective surface of the reflector reflects the laser light; controlling each of the LiDARs to receive a corresponding laser point cloud reflected by the reflector; and calculating a trailer angle based on the corresponding laser point clouds. The method and apparatus can increase the range of trailer angle measurement, such that the trailer angle can be measured even if the trailer angle is relatively large.
