Fuzzy Controller for Automatic Steering in Heavy Vehicle Semi Trailers

Instrumentation To track the geometric behavior of the vehicle, a GPS receiver was installed on top of the fifth wheel, and angular transducers in the steering wheels of the truck, in the hitch and in the steering wheels of the semi-trailer. This procedure is clearly explained in (Bortoni et al., 2007). Also accurate yaw rate sensors and lateral accelero-meters were placed in the chassis of the truck and the semi-trailer. Finally a mini camera was installed in the front of the truck pointed toward the ground to guide the driver during specific maneuvers
