Download Relative Off-Road Mobility Performance of Six Wheeled and Four Tracked Vehicles in Selected Terrain Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station analytical model for predicting off-road ground mobility was used to evaluate the performance of six wheeled vehicles (M656, M54A2, M520, M37B1, M561, and M706) and four tracked vehicles (M548, M113A1, M116, and M571) over a selected traverse in Thailand. Maps were prepared to exhibit the terrain in terms of surface composition (soil consistency), surface geometry (slopes, rice-field dikes, etc.), vegetation, and hydrologic geometry (rivers and streams). The performance of each vehicle was evaluated in terms of average speed over the traverse and the center line, average fuel consumed over the traverse, and center-line cargo delivery rate. The vehicles were run over the traverse under dry-season conditions (60 or 40 rating cone index) and wet-season conditions (60 or 35 rating cone index). Four of the vehicles (M656, M54A2, M520, and M548) were tested also under wet-season conditions of 60 or 40 rating cone index. Wet-season conditions usually reduced vehicle performance. No one vehicle provided optimum mobility for all the terrain conditions encountered on the traverse over which predictions were made. Further, neither wheels nor tracks appeared to consistently give better performance. A recommendation was made that the mission environment for any new vehicle be defined in quantitative terms before the new vehicle is developed.

Download An Approach to Automated Terrain Classification from Digital Elevation Model Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Using digital elevation model data, landforms are classified into two broad, generic terrain features -- mounts and non-mounts. Mount represents an aggregation of elevated features including hills, mountains and ranges. All remaining features are classified collectively as non-mount. The results of this work suggest that it may be possible to acceptably replicate the manual classification of certain generic terrain features. However, the general utility of the mount/non-mount classification appears to be limited by the classification algorithms, the nature of the regional terrain and the quality of available digital data. Possible applications for generic terrain feature information, such as mounts and non-mounts, are presented.

Download Instrumenting an All-Terrain Vehicle for Off-Road Mobility Analysis Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
With small mobile vehicles, even robots, becoming increasingly important for military operations, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) researchers set out to instrument an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) with mobility sensors to obtain and understand small-vehicle mobility data in all seasons. Extensive mobility research has already been performed at CRREL on the CRREL Instrumented Vehicle (CIV), which collects mobility data with large and expensive vehicle performance sensors. However, a small vehicle such as an ATV is not suited to carry large data collection instruments. In an effort to overcome cost and size limitations while maintaining functionality, an ATV was instrumented with lowcost sensors to collect mobility data comparable to the CIV. At the U.S. Army's Ethan Allen Firing Range, ATV mobility performance tests, such as coast down and drawbar tests, were performed alongside the CIV for comparison, while cross range test runs were performed to demonstrate the system's capabilities. This paper presents one option for researchers looking to instrument a small-vehicle with mobility performance sensors, describes the testing methodology and results, and offers a comparison to the CIV. Low-cost, portable vehicle mobility instrumentation systems would allow for accurate vehicle simulations and mobility awareness that can be used in situ by the warfighter and lead to further applications of all-terrain vehicles in force protection and border patrol scenarios.

Download Autonomous Driving Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book takes a look at fully automated, autonomous vehicles and discusses many open questions: How can autonomous vehicles be integrated into the current transportation system with diverse users and human drivers? Where do automated vehicles fall under current legal frameworks? What risks are associated with automation and how will society respond to these risks? How will the marketplace react to automated vehicles and what changes may be necessary for companies? Experts from Germany and the United States define key societal, engineering, and mobility issues related to the automation of vehicles. They discuss the decisions programmers of automated vehicles must make to enable vehicles to perceive their environment, interact with other road users, and choose actions that may have ethical consequences. The authors further identify expectations and concerns that will form the basis for individual and societal acceptance of autonomous driving. While the safety benefits of such vehicles are tremendous, the authors demonstrate that these benefits will only be achieved if vehicles have an appropriate safety concept at the heart of their design. Realizing the potential of automated vehicles to reorganize traffic and transform mobility of people and goods requires similar care in the design of vehicles and networks. By covering all of these topics, the book aims to provide a current, comprehensive, and scientifically sound treatment of the emerging field of “autonomous driving".

Download Technology Development for Army Unmanned Ground Vehicles Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) are expected to play a key role in the Army's Objective Force structure. These UGVs would be used for weapons platforms, logistics carriers, and reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition among other things. To examine aspects of the Army's UGV program, assess technology readiness, and identify key issues in implementing UGV systems, among other questions, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Technology asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study of UGV technologies. This report discusses UGV operational requirements, current development efforts, and technology integration and roadmaps to the future. Key recommendations are presented addressing technical content, time lines, and milestones for the UGV efforts.

Download Autonomous Vehicle Technology Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The automotive industry appears close to substantial change engendered by “self-driving” technologies. This technology offers the possibility of significant benefits to social welfare—saving lives; reducing crashes, congestion, fuel consumption, and pollution; increasing mobility for the disabled; and ultimately improving land use. This report is intended as a guide for state and federal policymakers on the many issues that this technology raises.
