An articulated vehicle including a front member having at least two axles, the forwardmost one of which is steerable, and a rear member, connected to the front member by a pivotal joint, having at least one axle and an engine for driving that axle. A first transducer produces a signal representative of the angle between the steerable axle and another axle of the front member, and a second transducer produces a signal representative of the buckling angle between the vehicle members. A comparator receives the transducer signals and produces a signal in the event that the actual buckling angle is less or greater than a theoretical buckling angle, the latter being determined by the signal from the first transducer. A device, such as a piston and cylinder device, responds to the comparator signal by producing a torque about the pivotal joint to increase or decrease, as the case may be, the actual buckling angle so that it approaches the theoretical buckling angle. |
