Trailer-Maneuverability in N-Trailer Structures
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2020 The letter presents a trailer-maneuverability analysis for the N-trailer kinematic structures comprising a tractor and an arbitrary number of single-axle trailers equipped with steerable or fixed wheels. For an elliptically-shaped set of tractor's input-velocities, we derive a mobility-ellipse generated in a velocity space of the (last) trailer.

Trailer Steering Control of a Tractor–Trailer Robot
IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2016 In this paper, we consider active trailer steering control as a means to improve the maneuverability of (long) truck-trailer combinations during cornering. Hereto, we formulate the problem of reducing the so-called swept path width during cornering and that of eliminating unsafe tail swing of the trailer as a tracking control problem.
