“…However, the camera does not help when the car has one or multiple trailers. Morales et al (2013) proposed a haptic solution to avoid unsafe steering movements when the car is attached to multiple passive trailers, such as for tourist road trains. Using hitch sensors, they augmented a steering wheel with force feedback to prevent drivers from exceeding the maximum rotation angles of the trailers.…”

This paper surveys the haptic technologies deployed in cars and their uses to enhance drivers' safety during manual driving. These technologies enable to deliver haptic (tactile or kinesthetic) feedback at various areas of the car, such as the steering wheel, the seat, or the pedal. The paper explores two main uses of the haptic modality to fulfill the safety objective: to provide driving assistance and warning. Driving assistance concerns the transmission of information usually conveyed with other modalities for controlling the car's functions, maneuvering support, and guidance. Warning concerns the prevention of accidents using emergency warnings, increasing the awareness of surroundings, and preventing collisions, lane departures, and speeding. This paper discusses how haptic feedback has been introduced so far for these purposes and provides perspectives regarding the present and future of haptic cars meant to increase driver's safety.

“…The problem of reversing an articulated vehicle to follow a desired path has been investigated in the literature. There are examples of reversing controllers for the multiple-trailer case [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In [3], a control law was defined between each consecutive trailer based on heading and heading rate errors.…”

The problem of reversing vehicles with two trailers could be solved with a semi-autonomous assistance system for automatically steering the vehicle. In the literature found, no controllers have been implemented on a full-size vehicle with two trailers. In this paper, two simple path-tracking controllers are presented for automating the reversing of a “B-double” vehicle, consisting of a tractor and two trailers. One of the controllers is a heuristic “preview point” controller; the other uses a state feedback approach. The controllers steer the wheels on the front axle so as to stabilize the vehicle in reverse and control the path of the rearmost axle to follow a prescribed path. A tuning strategy is outlined where both controllers are tuned using the linear quadratic regulator and have the same closed-loop poles. The two controllers are implemented on a full-size B-double test vehicle. Experimental results are discussed, and the controller performances are evaluated against criteria. With the state feedback controller, the test vehicle was able to track target paths, consisting of a roundabout and a lane change, to within 50 mm.

The paper addresses system requirements and provides implementation details to tele-operate two different off/on-axle combinations of a tracked mobile robot pulling and pushing two different trailers.…”

Intelligent and automatic systems are making our daily life easier. They are able to automate tasks that, up to now, were performed by humans, freeing them from these tedious tasks. They are mainly based on the classical robotic architectures where the stages of perception-using different sensor sources or even a fusion of a set of them-and planning-where intelligent control systems are applied-play a key role. Among all of the fields in which intelligent systems can be applied, transport systems are considered one of the most promising ones since over one million fatalities-including drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists-are registered each year worldwide and they can definitively help to reduce these figures.The growth in the number of drivers in the last decades, and consequently in the number of vehicles, has made traffic accidents become a major concern in the road transportation sector. Solutions such as building new transport infrastructures-specifically in urban areas where space limitations make it almost impossible-or increasing fines for inappropriate driving have not achieved the goal of reducing the number of fatalities, either in urban environments or highways. New policies on the part of the Governments are focused on the development of a safer, more reliable and more efficient transportation supported by intelligent systems.The field of research in which all these topics fall into is well-known as intelligent transportation systems (ITS). ITS focuses on improving road safety by acting on two possible aspects: on the one hand, the infrastructure and the possibilities of optimizing traffic flow, and on the other hand, acting on the cars with the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and the possibilities of optimizing traffic safety. The final goal is trying to reduce the number of collisions, or at least to mitigate their consequences. In this connection, one of the currently hot topics in the road OPEN ACCESS
