BRAKE-ACTUATING STEERING AND BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR TRACKED VEHICLES

摘要

A brake-actuating steering and braking control system for a tracked vehicleis provided with a braking control subsystem a steering control subsystem, andrightand left side brake-actuating subsystems. The braking control subsystemincludes abrake pedal and is connected to brake mechanisms of each brake-actuatingsubsystem. A user may depress the brake pedal to apply a braking force toright andleft side track assemblies of the tracked vehicle via the brake mechanisms totherebyslow or stop the tracked vehicle. The steering control subsystem includes asteeringwheel and is connected to each of the brake mechanisms. The user mayrotationallydisplace the steering wheel, which applies a braking force to the trackassemblycorresponding to the direction of rotational displacement of the steeringwheel viathe corresponding brake mechanism to thereby turn the tracked vehicle.
