Simulation of Steering Performance for Electric Drive Tracked Vehicle

According to the analysis of the fundamental steering theories of the electric drive tracked vehicle, a new effective electric drive tracked vehicle model is built in this paper. And the simulation of the steering performance of the vehicle is made. The results show that the electric transmission has great advantage on the steering performance aspect; the small radius steering and even the pivot steering is realizable, and the agility and the rapidness is wonderful. The regenerative energy can be fully utilized by controlling.
