Travelling Performances of 6-Wheel-Drive Carrying Vehicle on Slope

Abstract

Travelling performance on slope (traction, uphill and downhill travelling, turning, parking, braking and the stability against overturning) of a 6-wheel-drive carrying vehicle were investigated, and its adaptability for hillside was discussed. This vehicle has a functional unbalance; that is, the uphill and downhill travelling capacity is superior, but the stability to the rearward overturning on irregular ground and the turning performance on slope are inferior.
