Design of automatic control of multi-axle motor vehicles with a hydrostatic wheel drive

Abstract

The paper is concerned with the design of a system for control of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) based on a multi-axle all-wheel drive chassis with hydrostatic wheel drive. A technique is also suggested for improving the efficiency of the driveline system by means of effective control of the hydrostatic drive that improves the energy performance of the wheel robot.
