Process Involved in Designing of an Intelligent Additional Track Mechanism Tracked Vehicle for Swamp Peat Terrain

Different types of off road vehicles are widely used in agriculture, oil industry, mining and military operations but none of them can effectively operate over the swamp peat terrain because of its low bearing capacity of 7kN/m2. Segmented rubber tracked vehicle and intelligent air-cushion system tr...
