Design and development of a segmented rubber tracked vehicle for Sepang peat terrain in Malaysia

In order to improve the crossing ability, the tractive performance of a vehicle operating on low bearing capacity peat terrain and the loss of income resulting from downtime and maintenance cost, the vehicle must be designed with an ability to adapt to the changes of prevailing operation conditions....
