Fuzzy Controller for Automatic Steering in Heavy Vehicle Semi-Trailers

Trucks with semi-trailers are widely used for transportation of goods due their low operation cost, but inherent to these vehicles are some problems such as a poor maneuverability. To minimize the effects of this disadvantage, among other solutions, the incorporation of steerable axles in the semitr...
