suspension system is one of the most important factors in provision of ride comfort and dynamic stability in any vehicle. meanwhile the suspension systems of tracked vehicles, due to their continuous track, have particular specification in comparison with other vehicles. this specification causes tracked vehicles having an improved dynamic stability in off-road maneuvers compared to vehicles wi...

The deployment of an autonomous and teleoperated vehicle in tropical environments presents numerous challenges due to the extreme conditions encountered. This paper presents the transformation of a M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier into an autonomous and teleoperated vehicle for operation in jungle-like conditions. The system was partitioned into functional systems: Vehicle Control/Mobility, Pilo...

In some surveillance missions in the aftermath of disasters, the use of a teleoperated tracked vehicle contributes to the safety of rescue crews. However, because of its insufficient traversal capability, the vehicle can become trapped upon encountering rough terrain. This may lead to mission failure and, in the worst case, loss of the vehicle. To improve the success rate of such missions, it i...
