Abstract[English] Loading dock systems and associated methods for detecting the position of trailer rear wheel assembly/rear suspension system relative to a corresponding trailer bed and/or loading dock face are described herein. In some embodiments, a loading dock station can include one or more sensors for detecting whether a rear wheel assembly (e.g., a movable rear wheel assembly) of a trailer is in a rear position relative to the trailer bed when the trailer is present at the loading dock station. In some embodiments, the systems and methods disclosed herein can control subsequent operation of loading dock equipment based on the determined position of the rear wheel assembly.[French] L'invention concerne des systèmes de quai de chargement et des procédés associés pour détecter la position d'un ensemble roue arrière/système de suspension arrière de remorque par rapport à un lit de remorque et/ou une face de quai de chargement correspondants. Dans certains modes de réalisation, une station de quai de chargement peut comprendre un ou plusieurs capteurs pour détecter si un ensemble roue arrière (par exemple, un ensemble roue arrière mobile) d'une remorque est dans une position arrière par rapport au lit de remorque lorsque la remorque est présente au niveau de la station de quai de chargement. Dans certains modes de réalisation, les systèmes et les procédés divulgués dans le présent document peuvent commander le fonctionnement ultérieur de l'équipement de quai de chargement sur la base de la position déterminée de l'ensemble roue arrière.
