A kingpin assembly includes a housing having a recess located therein, a kingpin having at least a portion located within the recess of the housing, wherein the kingpin is secured within the recess of the housing, and wherein the kingpin includes an axis extending along a length of the kingpin, and a sensor arrangement configured to sense a force exerted on the kingpin in a first direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.

Systems and methods for determining a swing angle of a swing boom of a vehicle are provided. Sensor data is received from sensors disposed on a swing boom and a body of a vehicle. It is determined whether the swing boom is static or moving relative to the body based on the sensor data. In response to determining that the swing boom is static, the received sensor data is corrected based on an observed swing angle and an estimated swing angle is calculated based on the corrected sensor data. In response to determining that the swing boom is moving, the estimated swing angle is calculated based on the received sensor data. The estimated swing angle is output.

A control circuit for a wheel speed sensor is provide. The control circuit includes an input interface configured to receive high-resolution wheel speed data and low-resolution wheel speed data; and circuitry configured to determine information on a functional state of the wheel speed sensor using the high-resolution data and the low-resolution data. The circuitry is configured to detect a failure state of the wheel speed sensor if a number of signal events which are signaled by the high-resolution wheel speed data between a first signal event and a second signal event deviates from an expected number. The first signal event and the second signal event are signaled by the low-resolution wheel speed data.
