Fuzzy expert system for controlling swamp terrain intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle

A fuzzy expert system was used in this study to control an intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle (IACTV) as it operated in a swamp peat terrain. The system was effective in controlling the intelligent air–cushion vehicle while measuring the vehicle traction (TE), motion resistance (MR), power cons...
