Abstract

We derive the reduced equations of motion for an articulated n-trailer vehicle that moves under its own inertia on the plane. We show that the energy level surfaces in the reduced space are (n + 1)-tori and we classify the equilibria within them, determining their stability. A thorough description of the dynamics is given in the case n = 1.
