This study aims to stabilize the trailer at high speed. The behavior of passenger cars with four wheel steering system, vehicles with rear wheel steering and of trailer and passenger car are similar. This is regarded as an optimal regulator problem with linear equation of motion, and a state variables feedback control system is adopted. The problem of stability at high speed on a straight course can be solved. Therefore, the passenger car-trailer system can be stabilized. Furthermore, this study indicates the way forward to stabilize a passenger car-trailer system. The conclusions of the studies are summarized as follows: (1) The rear wheel steering control with feedback of relative yawing velocity has a good effect on stabilization. (2) The rear wheel steering control with model following has good effect not only on stabilization the passenger car-trailer system but also a improving the behavior of the passenger car part. (3) Additional front wheel steering control in the system improves the damping factor. Moreover, the combination system has an almost perfect not only stability but also handling with this control system.
