| description | The article explored the potential for enhancing the off-road mobility of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) equipped with a hydrostatic drive system. The analysis showed that effectively overcoming rough or soft terrain demands a slip limitation. In the UGVs with hydrostatic drives, flow dividers are used for this purpose. Unfortunately, they have certain drawbacks, such as reduced efficiency due to pressure losses. In order to minimize this phenomenon, an external braking system was used as a new slip control system. Therefore, simulation studies were carried out to assess the new slip control system while overcoming terrain obstacles due to the reduction of energy consumption and improving the mobility of the UGV. |
