LIQUID TRANSPORT VEHICLE WITH ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

A mock-up of a cargo vehicle for the transport of liquid or low-density cargo, which often has a stabilization problem when encountering bumps in the road or when driving on steep terrain, was designed and built. In order to improve the dynamic stability of the vehicle, it is necessary to apply a suspension that enables the balancing of forces, thereby achieving greater stabilization of the vehicle and smooth driving. It is essential for the vehicle to have suspension control in at least one degree of freedom of movement. Control of the vehicle’s suspension is achieved using gyroscopes at each end of the vehicle, which measure the inclination of the front and rear of the vehicle. Based on the data obtained from the tilt sensors of the front and rear axles of the vehicle, the microcontroller sends control signals to a single pair of servo motors that are rotated to the required angle in order to maintain the vehicle chassis in a horizontal position. There is a tank on the vehicle for the transport of liquid substances, and bumps on the road are simulated using a conveyor belt with bumps.
