Method for placing the wheels of a trailer in the wheel tracks left by a tractor vehicle, and device for implementing this method

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for placing the wheels of a trailer in the wheeltracks left by the wheels of a tractor vehicle. The trailer comprises steering elements intended to alter the path of the trailer, a means for determining the appropriate orientation to be given to the steering elements, and an actuator intended to act on the steering elements. This method is one which comprises the following steps: the history of a parameter representative of the path of the tractor vehicle is established so as to be able to find the value that the parameter had at a given moment; the relevant moment to be consulted in the history is determined; the value that the parameter had at the relevant moment is used to orientate the steering elements. This method applies in particular to agricultural sprayers.
