Research abstract

Aret proposes to develop a sensor system and processing algorithm that willpredict the variability in the approaching terrain of a military vehicle. The resultsof the algorithm will integrate with an active suspension system to reduce thepower transferred from the terrain to the inside of the vehicle. In addition, aseparate algorithm will identify obstacles and their potential for shock loads on thevehicle. The Phase I demonstration will consist of the developed algorithmsaccurately predicting approaching terrain profiles in real-time for simulated terrainapproaching a military vehicle traveling at reasonable speeds. The Phase I optionconsists of further development of the algorithms to provide obstacle avoidance.The Phase II demonstration consists of full implementation on a test platform withreal-time processing using prototypic mounting and computing hardware.
