Research on Terrain Response of the Maintenance Armored Security Vehicle

Armored vehicles used for transporting soldiers, integrated with booms and transforming into maintenance armored security vehicles, are a highly effective solution in situations requiring the lifting and movement of heavy objects over short distances. This article presents the dynamics of a maintenance armored security vehicle capable of holding objects while moving on a random rough road or sinusoidal rough road at various speeds. The research model is unique in that it combines a crane and a truck while moving. The 2D dynamic model in this study considers the elasticity of the suspension system, tires, boom cables, and wind load. Random rough road surfaces and the system of differential motion equations are solved using simulation methods in Matlab/Simulink software. The results of the article demonstrate the ability of maintenance armored security vehicles to respond to terrain conditions while simultaneously holding and moving objects on different road surfaces. The findings of the article provide a basis for evaluating the operational capabilities of maintenance armored security vehicles, aiming to propose technical solutions to minimize load oscillations during vehicle movement.
