Abstract
A method for providing real-time, towed implement compensation comprises dynamically calculating an implement offset relative to a targeted track for an implement located at a first implement location. Based on the calculated implement offset, a vehicle offset is dynamically calculated relative to the targeted track for a vehicle located at a first vehicle location. The method further includes dynamically calculating a modified vehicle offset relative to the targeted track based on the calculated vehicle offset and based on a dynamically-calculated vehicle lateral error. The method further includes dynamically providing a steering control signal based on the calculated modified vehicle offset.
