In this paper a review of the nonlinear path tracking control law based on exact linearization of a parameterized articulated vehicle composed of a car-like truck and N passive trailers is presented. Limitations of this path tracking procedure are discussed, particularly the automation of real world heavy goods articulated vehicles.entruck-trailerarticulated vehiclebackward motionpath trackingnon-linear controlexact linearization629004conference paper
