ANALYSIS OF OPERABILITY OF THE SPECIAL VEHICLE TRANSMISSION
The work is devoted to the analysis of the transmission of a special vehicle (SV) for moving on various surfaces, in particular on stepped ones, designed for people with disabilities. Based on the analysis of various vehicles for the movement of people with disabilities, a model of a SV was created. The main difference of proposed SV is the possibility of using the movement of the passenger՚s center of mass relative to the chassis of a SV for stabilization of the movement. A kinematic scheme of the SV transmission which includes the planetary reducer was created. The reducer provides movement of SV at various modes. Also SV transmission was modeled in the Solidworks software. The analysis of the performance of this transmission when moving a SV on various surfaces was made on base of created 3D-model. Based on the analysis, the efficiency of the transmission of a SV was proved both when moving on a straight surface, and in walking mode when overcoming steps.
