Logistics tasks often require the precise maneuvering of truck-trailer systems to a target
position. For example, the rear of the trailer must be steered to a docking position for …

In this work we study the effect of changing the vehicle guidance point position over the
collision risk and motion control performance of an N-trailer vehicle. Based on a Monte Carlo …

Articulated vehicles composed of a tractor and several passive trailers are commonly used
for transportation purposes in agricultural applications. The increment of the number of …

Autonomous maneuvering of truck-trailer systems is a challenging task, especially if
collisions with obstacles must be avoided. Due to the complexity, global path planners …

Truck and N-trailer mobile robots find use in freight transportation, urban transportation,
mining as well as in agriculture. The article proposes a nonlinear optimal (H-infinity) control …

Self-driving General N-trailers (GNT) vehicles are one of the future solutions to build
intelligent factory due to its flexibility and large load. Maneuvering of GNT vehicle to its …
