Mobility of vehicles for transportation of heavy indivisible load in the Far North and methods of mobility estimation

Abstract

The article presents a hierarchy of performance properties of vehicles for the transportation of heavy indivisible goods. Different methods can be used to determine the performance properties measures. The article presents the measurers of performance properties, the numerical values of which are obtained by using the method of mathematical modelling and simulation, the method of natural mathematical modelling and experimental methods of evaluation. The article identifies the problem of logistics in the Far North and in regions with no road infrastructure. The question under discussion is a burning question. The solutions to the problem have been discussed. One of the solutions to the problem is the development of new vehicles for the transportation of heavy indivisible loads in the Far North. For each vehicle it is necessary to take into account its functional purpose. Only a certain set of the most important perfomance properties should be taken into account. The most significant properties characterizing the mobility property are determined.

Reducing the energy consumption of lifting machines

“…Analyzing the process of lifting a loaded cabin (Figure 3a), based on the static equilibrium [9,10].…”

“…𝑁 𝐺 𝐺 𝐺 • 𝑉 (5) for the case of a cabin descent without cargo (Figure 1b) 𝑁 𝐺 𝐺 • 𝑉 (6) where V is the cabin speed G cab is the weight of the cabin, G c is the weight of the lifted cargo, G counter is the weight of the counterweight. The energy of the lifting electric motor is consumed when the fully loaded cabin moves up (Figure 2g) or the empty cabin moves down (Figure 2d and 2e) [8][9][10].…”
