Maneuverability performance of tracked vehicles on soft terrains

Unmanned ground vehicles are widely used in industries where repetitive tasks or high risk missions are required. Such vehicles usually operate on soft deformable terrains and still require human supervision due to the complexity of the interaction between the vehicle and the terrain. A traversability prediction simulator has recently been developed. The simulator is used to investigate the influence of vehicle design and soil properties on the maneuverability performance of tracked vehicles on soft terrains. Results of the simulations carried out give insight into the behavior of such vehicles with different operating conditions and how they can be controlled.
