All recent technological developments in the field of power distribution hybrid electric tracked vehicles are often hard to apply and carry high computational burden which makes them impractical for real-time applications. In this paper, a novel control strategy is proposed parallel vehicle based on robust easy implement thermostat with added merits follower (PFCS). The goal enhanced fuel econo...

Abstract In order to analyze the efficiency of a high-speed tracked vehicle powertrain, it is necessary understand powertrain workloads in specific working regimes. Experimental tests are conducted on vehicle, various terrain conditions, obtain accurate workload data and isolate maximum From power balance point view, most demanding regime turning process, so corresponding test results analyzed ...

Most population-based mortality objectives and subobjectives in Healthy People 2000 are tracked using age-adjusted rates from the National Vital Statistics System (appendix table I). The exceptions are deaths from alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, all motor vehicle crashes, and work-related injuries (objectives 4.1, 9.3, and 10.1), which are monitored with crude death rates from other data...

Small, tracked mobile robots designed for general urban mobility have been developed for the purpose of reconnaissance and/or search and rescue missions in buildings and cities. Autonomous stair climbing is a significant capability required for many of these missions. In this paper we present the design and implementation of a new set of estimation and control algorithms that increase the speed...

Chrono::Vehicle is a module of the open-source multi-physics simulation package Chrono, aimed at modeling, simulation, and visualization of wheeled and tracked ground vehicle multibody systems. Its software architecture and design was dictated by the desire to provide an expeditious and user-friendly mechanism for assembling complex vehicle models, while leveraging the underlying Chrono modelin...

Potential increases in wind erosion that might be brought about by military vehicles traveling off-road during training are of concern to the U.S. military because wind erosion and vehicle dust emissions contribute to land and air quality degradation and can cause adverse effects on respiratory health. Field studies were conducted in the summer of 2012 at Fort Benning, Georgia, to assess the ef...
