Automated driving systems (ADSs) promise a safe, comfortable and efficient driving
experience. However, fatalities involving vehicles equipped with ADSs are on the rise. The …

This study is focused on the maneuver planning problem for a tractor-trailer vehicle in a
curvy and tiny tunnel. Due to the curse of dimensionality, the prevalent sampling-and-search …

A linear reversing control strategy based on the stable and feasible domains of a hitch angle
is proposed to address the linear reversing problem with expectation caused by unstable …

The automation of self-driving agricultural vehicles, particularly self-driving tractors, has
made significant strides in the growth of the agri-tech business. This self-driving agricultural …

A controller is proposed to guide a multi-articulated robot vehicle (MARV) moving
backwards, following a certain path. The ability to avoid fixed and moving obstacles is …

Tractor-trailer path tracking in backward motion is a challenging nonlinear control problem in
automated vehicle development. The control challenges arise from the fact that a backward …

This work deals with a unicycle-like mobile platform pushing one and two trailers connected
to it, mimicking an application in precision agriculture. The idea is to have a tractor vehicle …

Driving a trailer is not difficult when driving forward; however, it is challenging when driving
in reverse because the trailer turns opposite to the steering direction of the vehicle and the …

Stability analysis of the low-speed reverse motion along clothoid curve is presented for the
truck–semitrailer combination. The single-track kinematic model supplemented with the …

In the past few years, there has been a growing interest among researchers in developing
control systems for autonomous vehicles, specifically for tractor-trailer systems. This …
