An information processing apparatus includes a user interface, an authentication unit, a controller, a restriction unit, and an authentication termination unit. They usually have a fifth wheel coupling plate which is fixed on the fifth wheel tractor by bearing elements and which has a V-shaped recess with a central cavity and a lock for receiving and locking in a kingpin which is mounted on the semitrailer in the middle of an upper plate in such a way that it is fixed. A longitudinally extending detectable element is provided that does not function as a communications cable and that is detachably connected to said tubular member by the jacket system which is also disposed about the detectable element so as to define a web between the tubular member and the detectable element. The corresponding fabrication process is also described. The computer-generated image tracks the movement of the segment with respect to the video image.
