The invention relates to a method for determining the configuration of a moving vehicle, which method comprises: identifying when the vehicle pivots, and generating on the basis thereof a pivot signal S T ; detecting at least one vehicle reference point by means of a detector unit situated on the vehicle when the vehicle pivots, and generating on the basis thereof a reference signal S R ; determining on the basis of said reference signal a linear distance between said vehicle reference point and the detector unit, and generating on the basis thereof a distance signal S D ; determining for the vehicle a pivot angle ± related to said vehicle reference point, and generating on the basis thereof a pivot angle signal S ± ; calculating a vehicle length on the basis of at least said linear distance and said pivot angle when the vehicle pivots, and generating on the basis thereof a vehicle length signal S L . The invention comprises also a system for determining the configuration of a moving vehicle.
