To provide these autonomoussystems with the flexibility that is required today in these industrial workspaces, AGV computationalmodels are necessary in order to analyze their performance and design efficient planning and controlstrategies. To address these issues, in this work, the mathematical model and the algorithm thatimplement a computational control-oriented simulation model of a hybrid tricycle-differential AGVwith multi-trailers have been developed. Physical factors, such as wheel-ground interaction and theeffect of vertical and lateral loads on its dynamics, have been incorporated into the model. The modelhas been tested in simulation with two different controllers and three trajectories: a circumference,a square, and an s-shaped curve. Furthermore, it has been used to analyze extreme situations ofslipping and capsizing and the influence of the number of trailers on the tracking error and thecontrol effort. This way, the minimum lateral friction coefficient to avoid slipping and the minimumratio between the lateral and height displacement of the center of gravity to avoid capsizing havebeen obtained. In addition, the effect of a change in the friction coefficient has also been simulated.
