An articulated bus plays an important role as a medium transportation vehicle in cities. This can be attributed to its high mobility and its ability to bend at its connection with a small revolution radius. This paper proposes a steering control strategy for articulated buses equipped with an all-wheel steering system to eliminate off-tracking. In this system, the center of each axle passes through the same locus, which is similar to the operation of trains. This control system was validated by means of a numerical simulation using a vehicle dynamics model and some experiments with scaled model vehicles.
