The problem of asymptotic stabilization for straight and circular forward/backward motions of
a tractor-trailer system is addressed using Lyapunov techniques. Smooth, bounded …

The problem of path-tracking for an autonomous vehicle composed of a tractor and n− 1
trailers with off-axle hitching is considered in this paper. It is shown that an input-output …

Tractor-trailer vehicles are affected by jackknifing, a phenomenon that consists in the
divergence of the trailer hitch angle and ultimately causes the vehicle to fold up. For the case …

It is common knowledge that tractor-trailer vehicles are affected by jackknifing, a
phenomenon that consists in the divergence of the trailer hitch angle and ultimately causes …

Autonomous lane keeping is an important safety feature for intelligent vehicles. This paper
presents a lane keeping simulator that is built with image projections of recorded data in …

This article studies the automation of aircraft ground movement operations using towbarless
robotic tractors. The tractor-aircraft system is modeled as a car-like mobile robot with an off …

In this paper it is proposed the extension of an efficient method employed for non-holonomic
mobile robots to the path tracking of tractors with a trailer. The main advantage of this pure …

Backward motion of articulated vehicles is a challenging task even for experienced drivers,
since these systems are highly nonlinear and their movement is unstable. In this paper a …

An experimental study of recently proposed algorithms for the stabilization of autonomous
vehicles (articulated and non-articulated) is carried out. The idea is to investigate extent by …

Autonomous vehicle is an engineering technology that can improve transportation safety,
alleviate traffic congestion and reduce carbon emissions. Research on autonomous vehicles …
