The Wheeled Vehicle Forced Additional Turn Analytical Study

Abstract

The study is dedicated to increasing open pit trucks with electrical transmission maneuverability indices. The possibility of forced controllability usage of rear traction wheels of open pit truck with the electrical transmission, which enables them to carry out maneuvers with the usage of a forced additional turn is presented. For the first time, there has been worked out a mathematical model of the forced additional turn. It enables to determine a correlation of rotational speed ratio of rear traction wheels of starboard and port sides of the wheeled vehicle relative to a tire-to-surface friction coefficient. Firstly, the analytical dependences, which allow predicting the indices of open pit trucks maneuverability while using the forced additional turn are determined. The mathematical model adopted to appropriate truck's electric drive control algorithm can lead to trucks performance increasing by means of maneuvering time reducing.

Forklift with small turning radius and its efficiency

“…It can increase the risk of the overturning of vehicles. Therefore to eliminate the demerits of rear-wheel steering vehicles, some research works [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] are held over the period last few decades.…”
