Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018036723A1] The invention relates to a method for stabilizing a convoy of vehicles (11, 12) linked pairwise one behind the other, comprising a lead vehicle (11) and at least one second vehicle (12) comprising a front axle assembly (14) with two wheels (17, 18) mobile in rotation about a front axis, a rear axle assembly (15) with two wheels (19, 20) mobile in rotation about a rear axis, the front axis of a second vehicle (12) coinciding with the rear axis of the vehicle (11, 12) which precedes it, an articulation (21) configured to render the rear axle assembly (15) mobile in rotation about a vertical axis substantially perpendicular to the reference plane with respect to the front axle assembly (14), a sensor intended to estimate an orientation of the second vehicle (12), a computer, the method comprising the following steps: estimation of the position and the orientation of the vehicles (11, 12), determination of the disparity between the actual trajectory and the reference trajectory, calculation of a control vector to be applied to the two wheels (17, 18) of the front axle assembly (14), application of the first control vector to the two wheels (17, 18) of the front axle assembly (14) of each second vehicle (12).
