Abstract

An understanding of track-terrain interaction dynamics and vehicle slip is crucial for skid-steered tracked vehicles traversing over soft terrain. There is a lack of experimental data for validating dynamic, kinematic and control models developed for tracked vehicles on soft terrains. The objective of this paper is to develop a test rig that will generate experimental data for autonomous tracked vehicles following a steady state circular trajectory on soft terrains. The data will be used in the future to validate a travers ability model for predicting track thrusts, a visual odometry technique for predicting vehicle slip and in controlling autonomous tracked vehicle following a steady state circular trajectory on soft terrains that were developed at King's College London.
