| Abstract: This paper deals with a proposal for building up a control module to convert the APC M113 into a remotely controlled vehicle. The driving of the vehicle has been simplified and performed through a simple control lever similar to the computer joystick which is able to control the vehicle driving systems; steering and braking system, accelerator pedal, and gear shifting lever. The necessary sensors and actuators have been added to the conventional M113. A microcontroller is used as a control unit; the required interfacing circuits were designed. LABVIEW Software® is used as the interface between the microcontroller and the remote control station. Finally a mathematical model is prepared to simulate the proposed control module and measure its response and stability | ||
