MULTI TERRAIN VEHICLE

BY USING ROCKER BOGIE MECHANISM

ABSTRACT
To develop a highly suspension mechanism such that physically
challenged persons can overcome the obstacles (stair climbing, multi
terrain surfaces etc.) without the need of others.
This rocker bogie mechanism consists of moving links rocker and
bogie. Since it consists of moving links it is able to climb obstacles easily.
The term ‘Bogie’ refers to the links that have a driven wheel at each end.
Bogie were commonly used as load wheels. The bogie is attached with
rockers such that every link is made to overcome the obstacles
individually with maintaining high stability by touching all wheels to the
ground.
To sum up this mechanism along with a chair. At first the four legs
of the chair is attached to rocker chassis such that the chair is being
attached to the rocker which intern is attached to bogie this makes us to
enable to overcome obstacles. The person, who is sitting on the chair
would be able to control his directions and movements using joystick by
himself.
This mechanism is not only limited to daily life applications. It can
also be used in wide variety of applications. This mechanism has been
used in Mars Exploration Rover by NASA. At extreme conditions like Polar
Regions, where mankind survival is difficult, this mechanism can be used
to collect valuable data.
