Abstract This paper presents methods for modelling and designing an ideal path trajectory between straight bend track segments racing greyhounds. To do this, we numerically generate clothoid algebraic curve quadrupeds using a sequential vector transformation method as well helper equation approaching that would respect greyhound kinematic parameters boundary conditions of the track. Further, look into limitations dog design propose smooth composite transition which roughly maintains G3 curvature continuity jerk to overcome transition. Finally, show results from race data past injury data, provide strong indication improving dynamics safety greyhounds while reducing injuries.
