Intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle performance investigation: neural-networks

Intelligent air-cushion tracked vehicle (IACTV) is focused for the alternatives to conventional off-road vehicles, which are driven by track system and air-cushion system. To make IACTV as efficient as possible, proper investigation of vehicle performance is essential. However, most relevant factors...
