Mobility investigation of an intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle on swamp peat terrain in Malaysia

This study presents the vehicle mobility in terms of traction mechanics for the developed small scale intelligent aircushion tracked vehicle (IACTV) moving over swamp peat.The air cushion system partially supports the 20 % of vehicle total weight in order to make the vehicle ground contact pressure...
