Abstract
Automation is important in modern agricultural environment, which demands the highest level of technology. In the paper an independent four-wheel steering driving platform is developed especially for horticulture in glass house farm. Mathematical modeling of the four wheel system is carried out for smooth movement. The relationships between steering angle, the turning radius, and escape trajectory are simulated using the dynamic analysis program. Optimal driving algorithm is sought through the performance evaluation.
