Abstract :
A control scheme is proposed for the backward line tracking problem of a truck with trailer. It combines two different regulators, one for backward motion and the other for forward, in a switching scheme that assures convergence to the desired line. The scheme has been implemented and successfully used to reverse a radio-controlled vehicle.
