School area is one type of land use that has a large enough appeal to the community. The number vehicle modes can cause new problems in school areas which generally do not have special lanes drop passengers. This study find out pulls movements, characteristics so unlucky economy and travel students, teachers employees, make model pulling merger vehicles educational on road K.H Dewantara Ternate...

Three wheeled motorized vehicles play an important part in city transport of developing countries. In the present work, the results of an optimum design of suspension system using 9 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) analytical model for coupled motion of commercial three wheeled motor vehicles of Bajaj rear engine (RE) and Vikram front engine (FE) vehicle over road of various degree of measured roughnes...

The global development of fuel cell based propulsion has emphasized larger vehicles, with most manufacturers demonstrating a car, van or truck. However, the transportation market in many countries is dominated by smaller two and three wheeled vehicles. A fuel cell motorcycle could replace two stroke scooters that proliferate emissions, as well as, their electric counterparts that require long r...

Cutting-edge robotics is increasingly moving away from simple repetitive tasks on the factory floor and toward complex operations in unstructured natural environments. Such environments present a wide variety of challenges, particularly for conventional modes of robot locomotion: only a fraction of the earth's land surface can be traversed by wheeled vehicles. Common examples of insurmountable ...

Wheeled-tracked vehicles are undoubtedly the most popular means of transportation. However, these vehicles are mainly suitable for relatively flat terrain. Legged vehicles, on the other hand, have the potential to handle wide variety of terrain. Robug IIs is a legged climbing robot designed to work in relatively unstructured and rough terrain. It has the capability of walking, climbing vertical...

This special issue focuses on the following topic areas: i Biomimetics and locomotion, ii mobile vehicles, iii human-robot systems and haptic interfaces, and iv novel systems modeling and analysis. We believe that this special issue provides a compilation of the most recent developments in the field of robotics and will be an important source of information for current and future researchers. B...

T he process of research, development, and acquisition to procure military vehicles has historically been challenging for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, the difficulty lies in translating the threat (such as an enemy antitank guided missile) into a design criterion (such as a protection requirement of so many inches of armor plating). In other instances, problems have included a mismatch betw...

An autonomous mobile robot should find feasible trajectories in order to avoid collisions with obstacles in its environment. This ability to plan collision-free trajectories requires two major aspects: modulation and generation of trajectories. This is especially important if temporal stabilization of the generated trajectories is considered. Temporal stabilization means to conform to the plann...
