Improved Cable type Accelerator Control System with Slider Mechanism for Commercial Vehicles
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper details the design and validation of an improved cable-type accelerator control system for left hand drive (LHD) army vehicles. A slider mechanism is used for the pedal control unit. The design is verified by kinematic analysis using ADAMS simulation. The vehicle performance and verification of ergonomic parameters are tested using a prototype vehicle. Improvements in the ergonomics, system reliability and packaging/installation in comparison with the existing accelerator control system are demonstrated.
