ON THE ISSUE OF KINEMATIC MISALIGNMENT IN THE TRANSMISSION OF ALL–WHEEL DRIVE CARS

The article analyzes the causes of the phenomenon of circulating power in a closed power circuit "wheel propulsion – bearing surface" and kinematic misalignment of the driving wheels of an all-wheel drive vehicle under various conditions and modes of its movement. The methods of reducing the kinematic misalignment of the driving wheels are analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages are indicated. An improved algorithm for the functioning of a device for determining the slipping of tire tread elements along the support surface is proposed in order to reduce the kinematic misalignment of the driving wheels with the transmission locked.
