Abstract
An ultrasonic information linkage system was developed which can measure continuously and automatically the relative position and orientation of two slowly moving vehicles on a plane. This system was primarily designed to link up an automatic tractor to an operator controlled tractor in a master-slave mode so as to double the productivity of a skillfull worker in agriculture.
A laboratory prototype of the linkage system was constructed and tested which confirmed the feasibility of employing the proposed system in a master-slave tractor guidance system.
