Vehicle-trailer systems have various unstable modes including trailer snaking, jack-knifing,
and roll-over, which should be considered in their stability control. For stability control design …

Maneuvering a general 2‐trailer with a car‐like tractor in backward motion is a task that
requires a significant skill to master and is unarguably one of the most complicated tasks a …

In this paper, ultra-sonic sensors along with kinematics and dynamics equations of a towing
vehicle are used to develop three approaches for hitch angle estimation. The first approach …

The design of reliable path-following controllers is a key ingredient for successful
deployment of self-driving vehicles. This controller-design problem is especially challenging …

This paper presents an automated monocular-camera-based computer vision system for
autonomous self-backing-up a vehicle towards a trailer, by continuously estimating the 3D …

This paper discusses the path-following performance of actively-steered articulated vehicles
based on measurement signals from two “ground-watching” navigation systems (GWNSs) …

The design of the path-following controller is crucial for reliable autonomous vehicle
operation. This design problem is especially challenging for a general 2-trailer with a car …

High-capacity vehicles have been shown to be highly effective in reducing emissions
associated with road freight transport. However, the reduced manoeuvrability of long …

Articulated heavy goods vehicles and long combination vehicles offer improved efficiency
and emissions but reduced low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability compared …

Vehicle-trailer systems have different unstable modes that should be considered in their
stability control, including trailer snaking, jack-knifing, and roll-over. In general, vehicle …
