GANNON, A.J.  and  KACZMARCZYK, S.. Kinematic analysis of a train of trailers. R&D j. (Matieland, Online) [online]. 1995, vol.11, pp.29-33. ISSN 2309-8988.

The paper deals with the development of a kinematic model suitable for the analysis of long trains of trailers. The model describes the kinematics of trailers with rear-wheel steering and is solved using a numerical method. Numerical results are discussed and compared with experimental results. A numerical algorithm to optimise the design of a train of trailers with rear-wheel steering is presented.
