“…In combinations, there are usually two separate steering systems: the tractor and the trailer ones. While tractor steering systems can be considered as quite refined (Dixon 2009;Ormezowski 2008), even though research is still being done on their development (Gidlewski 2011;Hussain et al 2005), their counterparts in trailers, especially long, multi-axial semitrailers, require further research and development, which are intensively conducted (Berjoza 2008;Bortoni-Anzures et al 2008;Ding et al 2013;He et al 2010;Kharrazi et al 2013;Odhams et al 2011;Percy, Spark 2012;Rangavajhula, Tsao 2008).…”

As part of a research project aimed at designing the structure of a new special-purpose multi-axle semitrailer for transporting large machines and equipment, a simulation study on the manoeuvrability of the semitrailer during its passage through a tight corner was performed. The aim of this study was to determine whether the semitrailer would meet the legal requirements regarding manoeuvrability after it has been implemented for production. The simulations were carried out using a specially designed spreadsheet. The spreadsheet enabled analysis of the movements of the wheels of the tractor-trailer combination, with the assumption that they roll without skidding; it also described changes in the steering angles of trailer wheels, as well as off-tracking and corner-cutting during turning. When the geometrical parameters of the tractor and trailer were changed, the spreadsheet allowed tracing their impact on the manoeuvrability of the whole combination. This paper presents the results of the simulations and points to the desired features of a semitrailer steering system that facilitate negotiating tight corners.

In order to elevate the driving stability of tractorsemitrailer for automated vehicle control, the issue of automated steering and independent braking control of a tractor-semitrailer vehicle system is delivered. The input/output linearization and Lyapunov minimax approach were used and combined in the design of the control. The design was programmed and simulated in Matlab. The results show that in spite of the presence uncertainty, the proposed design achieves lane following and prevents the jack-knifing phenomenon of tractor-semitrailer system.
