Intelligent traction control system of an electric golf car has been developed by using the experience of the traction in order to maintain the golf car traction as required with utilizing optimum power. Compared with conventional control approach, fuzzy logic approach is more efficient for nonlinear dynamic systems and embedding existing structure

The technical advantage of the present invention is that the response of the electromagnetic actuator is swift so the actuator can move both the pulleys at desired distance within fraction of seconds (0.01s) to provide the torque to the driving wheels in any road conditions. The electromagnetic actuated continuously variable transmission system pro

Climate change is a critical issue nowadays. Various anthropogenic activities are making the world hot to hotter. The ultimate result is global climate change, which has been reached to an alarming level especially in the marine environment. Climate change represents several factors associated with increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhous

To improve crossing ability, the most important performance factor for tracked vehicle systems operating on low-bearing capacity peats, and to minimize income losses that result from downtime and maintenance costs, a vehicle was designed in order to adapt to operating condition changes. This article describes the mobile performance of a novel vehic

This paper presents an integrated mechanics for the design of hybrid electrical air-cushion tracked vehicle. The air-cushion of HETAV is protected with a novel-design air-cushion supporting system which can adjust automatically. A propeller is equipped with the vehicle to develop additional thrust for overcoming the dragging motion resistance of th

Fuzzy logic control electromagnetic actuator (EMA) is developed in this study to control the CVT of passenger car. The EMA development is conducted by two sets of electromagnetic actuators (solenoid) located on primary and secondary pulley. A set of solenoids are attached to the primary and secondary pulley to develop the attraction and repulsive f

Intelligent electromagnetic actuated continuously variable transmission system (IEMA-CVT) is designed and developed in this study for improving the vehicle dynamic response and fuel consumption. The IEMA development is conducted by two sets of electromagnetic actuators (solenoid) located on primary and secondary pulley and a fuzzy logic controller.
