Development of an intelligent air-cushion system for a swamp tracked vehicle

This paper describes the unique structure of an intelligent air –cushion system for an intelligent air-cushion track vehicle (IACTV) working on swamp terrain and its performance. Based on the total motion resistance and driving force analyzing for IACTV, the load distribution for the intelligent ai...
