  • Abstract
    This paper presents a new algorithm for online, real-time calculation of the wheel angles and speeds of gantry tractor modules. In dasiaworkingpsila mode the modules are latched together to form a rigid truss, whereas in dasiatransportpsila mode, the modules are unlatched so that they are only connected at their hitch points allowing the module to maneuver along curved paths.
