Abstract |
All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) this are day by day popular for both recreational and work applications. In Some countries all terrain vehicles are widely used in the farming environment. Recent statistics have indicated that high serious-injury and fatality rate is associated with rollover of Vehicle which are basically due to unbalanced centre of gravity associated with all terrain vehicle, So previously developed software for lumped-mass models could successfully simulate the rollover kinematics of all terrain vehicle, but the limitations in terms of effectively reproducing vehicle-rider contacts with the most common serious-injuries are related to chest and head. Software simulations can help to understand the vehicle-rider interaction during a variety of different rollover points (ROP). The objective of this research is to develop a model of a typical all terrain vehicles used in a farming environment which can overcome Roll Over Point by balancing the centre of gravity which helps in proper mounting of engine. |
