Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since there are numerous ways of increasing a wheeled vehicles overall mobility and effectiveness it then becomes a choice of which mobility features to incorporate into a vehicle design and how effective each of these features are from a performance and a cost effectiveness standpoint. One of the most effective and well proven systems that has been adapted to wheeled tactical vehicles to improve the overall vehicle mobility is CTIS. In general these systems, feature relatively simple designs, are a highly effective and convenient method of enhancing vehicle mobility and are relatively simple to operate. A CTIS can be defined as, A system incorporated in a wheeled vehicle which permits the vehicle tire pressures to be regulated by the vehicle driver/crew member from within the vehicle cab while on the move. If the vehicle tires are deflated from 50 psi to 15 psi the tire footprints will increase substantially. Whenever the area of the footprint is increased the ground pressure which that vehicle experiences is reduced. Assuming that the soil strength conditions are identical, the tractive effort and overall mobility for a vehicle will increase at the lower pressure level, hence allowing this vehicle to accomplish a high level of mobility performance.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SAE Recommended Practice defines the system and component functions, measurement metrics, and testing methodologies for evaluating the functionality and performance of ground vehicle central tire inflation systems (CTIS), also known as tire pressure management systems or tire pressure control systems (TPCS). Systems of this type allow the driver to select the operational tire pressure set point (TPSP) based on vehicle load and surface type (highway, off-highway, off-road, etc.) and maintain the inflation pressure to the vehicle specified level.These systems are recommended to address all serviceable tires as originally installed on a vehicle by the OEM and/or specialty vehicle manufacturer, and for the aftermarket (including replacement or spare parts) are recommended (but optional) to address all tire/rim combinations installed after initial vehicle sale or in-use dates.Systems for use by military and some other very rigorous off-road applications require such extreme performance requirements, particularly at very high and low temperature and other combat-based extremes that such applications may fall outside the recommended parameters of the subject document. In those cases, it is the responsibility of the procuring customer, vehicle OEM, and applicable component(s) OEM to determine what compromises might be required, and the suitability of design and performance solutions that may be outside of those recommended here.This document is applicable to all axle and all wheel combinations for the following vehicle types, but does not preclude its use on other vehicle typessingle unit powered vehicles exceeding 7257 kg (16000 U.S. pounds) gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and multi-unit vehicle combinations, up to three towed units, which use an SAE J560 connector for power and/or communication, or equivalent successor connector technology. For combination vehicles including two or more trailers, the dolly axles are also included. The included vehicles can be newly manufactured vehicles or existing vehicles, fitted with air or hydraulic braking systems. This document was reviewed and has been revised as part of the SAE Five-Year Review process.Updates (including corrections and clarifications) have been made to the scope and Sections 2, 5, 6, and 7.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full of illustrations and photographs, this publication is a comprehensive history of the many innovations in tanks and other military ground vehicles and equipment developed by the engineers at TARDEC, the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center. TARDEC was formed in 1946 as an outgrowth of the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant built during World War II. During the early years, emphasis was placed on evolving new technologies to improve military ground vehicles, culminating in the development of the M1 Abrams tank. Since then, TARDEC has grown to be a key center for advanced technologies for military ground vehicles and equipment. Recent years have brought an explosion of technology development and integration, from hybrid engines to fuel cells, from analytical simulation to enormous physical simulators, and from small robots to entire unmanned vehicles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operation Bigfoot was initiated by the United States Deaprtment of Agriculture (USDA) forest Service in 1988 to implement central tire inflation (CTI) to reduce the impact of commodity production such as timber and minerals on the forest environment. Cooperative work with other Federal agencies, industry and standards associations, manufacturers, and insurance industry representatives has helped make CTI technology viable and safe for commercial use. Accomplishments include validation of truck and road benefits, tire standards for low inflation pressures, and commercial availability of CTI equipment for trucks and trucks and trailer combinations over 24,000 pounds GVW (gross vehicle weight). Structures tests and demonstration projects indicate the benefits of using lowered tire pressures are real and that they can be implemented to reduce impacts on forest ecosystems. Verified benefits include: 20-30 percent reduction in required road aggregate thickness with CTI; 50-90 percent reduction in road surface maintenance with CTI; 10-85 percent reduction in road related sediment with CTI; Reduced driver injury and fatigue; Reduced vehicle operation and maintenance costs. Additional tests are planned to evaluate the effects of lowered tire pressure on pavement damage during thaw weakened periods, reduction in sediment due to reduced maintenance blading, and measured reduced impacts to the trucks. These and other planned studies will help implement CTI technology. For the covering abstract of this conference, see IRRD number 863140.
