An identical linear lane-keeping controller designed for a passenger car was successfully implemented on a tractor semi-trailer. With the same control parameters, similar error dynamics were observed under two very different truck configurations: tractor with and without trailer. The results demonstrate that 'rail-like' performance can be achieved through a relatively simple 'look-ahead' controller. This paper describes the process of transfering the engineering intuition of 'it is generally easier to steer a tractor semi-trailer than a passenger car,' to the design concept of 'a well-designed look-ahead steering controller for passenger car is a good candidate for controlling tractor semi-trailer.'
