CONCEPTUAL PRINCIPLES FOR IMPROVING THE MANEUVERABILITY OF MODULAR ROAD TRAINS FOR AIRFIELD TECHNICAL SUPPORT OF FLIGHTS
Keywords:
airfield ground support, operation of automobile chassis, modular systems, motion stability, controllability and maneuverability
Abstract
The purpose of the research is to find directions for the development and substantiation of engineering solutions and technical methods aimed at increasing the maneuverability of modular road trains in the context of specific conditions for the airfield environment. The evolution of methods of improving maneuverability of modular road trains for airfield technical support of flights is possible on the basis of measures to optimize design of the coupling and control unit, the use of energy modules, the use of mechatronic active control systems, standardization, unification, modeling and analysis of kinematic parameters, assessment of stability and safety during maneuvering. An integrated approach that combines engineering, information and organizational solutions makes it possible to create efficient, safe and adaptive new generation modular vehicles that reduce number of aircraft maintenance equipment at an airfield without losing functionality, reduce maneuvering time by 27%, aircraft maintenance time by 18–25% and reduce the risk of collisions.
