Summary

The dynamic model of an articulated vehicle consisting of one tractor and two semi-trailers is derived according to a systematic approach available in the literature. The model is produced on the assumption of no slippage, which enforces nonholonomic constraints. The resulting equations encompass a number of significant special cases.
