Cushion pressure control system for an intelligent air-cushion track vehicle

This paper presents the control system of cushion pressure for the developed intelligent air-cushion track vehicle (IACTV) for operating on swamp terrain and wet fields. A novel auto-adjusting supporting system is designed for the vehicle’s intelligent air-cushion system. Focusing on minimizing the...
