A Novel Path-Tracking Algorithm for Automated Tractor-Trailer Forward and Backward Maneuvers

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 18, 2026 · UTC

Fully autonomous tractor--trailer systems are increasingly deployed in logistics, agriculture, and industrial environments, where precise and robust path-tracking capabilities are essential. However, the articulation between the tractor and the trailer introduces additional nonlinearities and significantly complicates lateral and longitudinal control, particularly during reversing maneuvers. This paper introduces a novel path-tracking algorithm specifically designed for articulated vehicles with a single trailer. The proposed method combines a lateral control law applied at the trailer level w
