Articulated tracked vehicles have been traditionally studied and appreciated for the extreme maneuverability and mobility flexibility in terms of grade and side slope capabilities. The articulation joint represents an attractive and advantageous solution, if compared to the traditional skid steering operation, by avoiding any trust adjustment between the outside and inside tracks. This paper focuses on the analysis and control of an articulated tracked vehicle characterized by two units connected through a mechanical multiaxial joint that is hydraulically actuated to allow the articulated steering operation. A realistic eight degrees of freedom mathematical model is introduced to include the main nonlinearities involved in the articulated steering behavior. A linearized vehicle model is further proposed to analytically characterize the cornering steady-state and transient behaviors for small lateral accelerations. Finally, a hitch angle controller is designed by proposing a torque-based and a speed-based Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) logics. The controller is also verified by simulating maneuvers typically adopted for handling analysis.
