Vehicle Platform

The objective of this project is primary to construct a moveable vehicle platform. The vehicle platform has a many degrees of freedom. The degrees of freedom are traction, height adjustment, wheel turn, and gauge adjustment. The secondary objective is to be able to control all these degrees of freedom so the vehicle can follow a reference track. A full-scale test rig has been constructed and mounted with hydraulic actuators for testing the height adjustment system. The height adjustment control system has been tested by student?s projects, and currently there is running a student project for improvement of the suspension system. In the future there will be running students projects on the wheel turn system and gauge adjustment system. (Peder Pedersen, Frank Thorleif Jørgensen; AAU Leif Tandrup; Sauer-Danfoss)
