Autodocking is the process of an articulated vehicle autonomously docking at a loading point. In other words, a self-parking truck. In this example, a walk through of a simulation model and animation model of this process is given. This leads to understanding the Autodock project and the possibilities of a simulation environment. The simulation model (of the Autodocking procedure)
