This paper proposes SSM(Sensor Steering Mechanism) for a lateral guided vehicle with an articulated body which has an arbitrary position of articulation joint. The last paper shows the SSM for an articulated vehicle with a bending joint located at the center of its wheel base. The articulated robotic vehicle with SSM is demonstrated an accurate line following at low speed and a drift cornering at high speed moving. This paper discuses the SSM for the arbitrary position of articulated joint and the simple relation is derived for the lateral guided method for the articulated vehicle. In order to demonstrated the advantage of this method, an experimental vehicle is developed and tested on the evaluation course which is used previous papers. Dynamical simulations of experimental vehicle are preformed and the data is compared with the experimental data. These results demonstrate that a SSM for articulated vehicles achieve at high speeds and maintain stability on a test course.
