The objective of this paper is to give a control technique for a vehicle motion lengthways a branch of asymptotically stable steady-states. For this purpose, a branch of asymptotically stable steady-states is considered. Using a theorem from [1], threre are successive maneuvers found which lead the vehicle from one steady-state of the branch to an other steady-state of the branch.
