Design parameters study of an intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle

The aim of this paper is to present the design parameters study of a developed intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle (IACTV) for swamp peat terrain in Malaysia. The prototype parameters for a track system including track width and ground contact length and a novel design auto adjusting air-cushion...
