  1. Torque control strategy for off-road vehicle mobility.

    Ragheb, HossamUniversity of Ontario Institute of Technology2014

    Multi-wheeled off-road vehicles behavior depend not only on the total provided power by the engine but also on the power distribution among the drive axles/wheels. In turn, this distribution is primarily regulated by the drivetrain layout and the torque distribution devices. At the output of the …
