This project deals with design and prototype testing of a reversing car trailer systemequipped with a rate gyro and optronics to locate a target and drive to it. Simulink isused for developing and implementing the control system, it was also used to remotelyoperate the vehicle with a Man-in-the-Loop input. Given a starting position the user cancontrol a servo holding a laser range finder and a laser pointer to find a suitable target,and then lock the vehicle on it to later make it autonomously approach it. The finished car trailer system can, when driving straight backwards, reach the destinationwithin the vicinity of 10 ± 7 cm from a starting position 3 m away. When reversingto a target with an angular offset the accuracy and precision is ...
