Abstract

Forest fire patrolling vehicle is a kind of special vehicle that travels under off-road condition in forest. It should have better handling characteristics. In order to evaluate handling characteristics of a forest fire patrolling vehicle, a two degrees of freedom mathematical analytical model is built and steady state response characteristic is analyzed. Apart from the mathematical model, multi-body system dynamics model based on ADAMS software is built to compare with the mathematical model. Virtual experiments which include steady state turn and transient state response were simulated in order to analyze handling characteristics. The results show that the results of mathematical method coincides with the results of virtual analysis method, the forest fire patrolling vehicle has under-steering characteristics.
