            Abstract : 
We consider the directed waypoint following problem for automated trailer backup. Waypoint following is achieved through the design of a hybrid planner, which is computationally efficient and robust to tracking errors. The planner requires feedback from a localized positioning system. Simulation results are generated using the vehicle dynamics simulator CarSim.
