Experimental Determination of Kinematic and Power Parameters at the Tracked Vehicle Turning

AbstractThe paper investigates kinematic and power parameters of the tracked vehicle movement trajectory at transition processes of changing the direction and slipping of the caterpillar track. The main parameter that determines the space position of a tracked vehicle is the position of the longitudinal axis, and the deviation vector angle of the absolute travelling speed. These parameters are determined to a high precision applying modern software and hardware. The results can be used for improving the systems of the remote automatic control of the vehicle movement, as well as in case of the driver's participation under the condition of implementing vehicle potential high speed characteristics and providing for the limited corridor negotiating
