Path following control of articulated vehicle by backward driving
Masami Saeki · 2003
In this paper, a design method for path following control of an articulated vehicle while driving backwards is proposed. This control law is constructed by combining two control laws: a control law for path following of a single vehicle and a control law which enables the articulated vehicle to behave like a single vehicle being steered backwards. This system has a pleasing flexibility in the sense that it can be used not only as a fully automatic control system but also as a man-machine system that assists a driver skilled in single vehicle driving.
