ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The problem of tracked platform’s difficulty in steering is caused by the high lateral resistance on rigid pavements. To solve this, a new type of tracked mobile platformtracked efficient steering platform has been designed. In order to study the basic motion performance of a tracked efficient steering platform, a brushless DC motor control system model was built by Matlab/Simulink and multi-body dynamics model of platform was built by virtual prototyping technology software ADAMS/View were used. The motor control system model and multi-body dynamics model composed co-simulation model. The basic motion performance such as longitudinal steer performance, central steering performance and climbing performance were simulated and analyzed. The simulation result verified the correctness of the model and indicated the basic motion performance of efficient platform is same as traditional tracked platform.
