The invention relates to a system for controlling, from a path of a first vehicle 1, a second vehicle 11 to follow a complementary path. This allows for controlling the paths of test vehicles to ensure they follow each other or meet at a desired point to possibly collide. The control allows for a correction in the path of one vehicle based on the error 241, 242 between the actual 102 and intended 2 positioning of the first. The correction results in the modified paths being complementary to each other in a like manner to the desired paths. The system comprises a first vehicle sub system and a second vehicle subsystem. Each subsystem has a memory (desired path) and GPS receiver (actual path). The first sub-system compares the actual position of the first vehicle with the desired position of the vehicle at a given time to create a test path error. This test path error is transferred to the second vehicle subsystem where the second vehicle subsystem computes a modified path for the second vehicle based on the test path errors and then generates a control signal for controlling the second vehicle to follow the corrected path. |
