Abstract

A quantitative evaluation method of manipulative difficulty for a tractor pushing or towing multiple trailers is introduced in this paper. A Manipulative Difficulty Index (MDI) thinking about imperfect measurement is proposed by the present authors. This difficulty varies if physical parameters such as the position of the joint or the number of the trailers is changed. The authors focus on this change when some state variables have measurement errors in this paper. Also, quantitative comparisons for typical examples of the change of physical parameters of tractor-trailers under the above case are presented.
