Variation of Start Acceleration for Wheeled and Tracked Autonomous Mini-Vehicles

Abstract:

In this paper is presented a comparison between the obtained start-acceleration of a vehicle with wheels and one tracked. Experiments performed in this regard were conducted on three types of surfaces like parquet, carpet and sand. The vehicles chosen for testing were a remote-controlled mini-vehicle (wheeled locomotion system) and Spy Video TRAKR (locomotion system tracked). In order to determine the acceleration, the vehicles were equipped with ultrasonic sensor DT020-1 and data acquisition system MultiLogPRO, running connected to a PC or as a standalone device.
