In recent years significant progress has been made in optimization-based planning and control for automated vehicle operation. For heavy-duty vehicles, the research focus has been on platooning and control of articulated vehicles especially when cruising on the highway. This paper proposes an integrated system using a motion planning algorithm and a real-time reference tracking controller, tailored to the task of automated tractor-trailer hitching which is a critical maneuver in heavy-duty vehicle operations, due to requiring a very high precision. The motion planner is based on a bi-directional A-search guided tree algorithm and the tracking controller is im-plemented using nonlinear model predictive control. To validate the proposed approach, we present results from hardware-in-the-loop simulations on a dSPACE Scalexio real-time computing unit and extensive Monte Carlo closed-loop simulations.
