Specific features of mobile machine reverse movement

The study deals with questions related to mobile machine manoeuvring when reversing. When the mobile machine is moving backward kinematics of processing various manoeuvres coincides with kinematics of forward movement. This fact gives the possibility to use analytical dependences obtained when the mobile machine is moving forward to describe reverse movement. To estimate the effectiveness of training mobile machine driving when moving backward both laboratory research using a hardware and software complex and full-scale tests using an automobile were conducted. The process of simulation the driver's impact on the mobile machine steering system when moving backward is effectively implemented using a hardware and software complex. Maximal discrepancies in the results of theoretical and experimental studies do not exceed 10...15 per cent. The obtained results of experiments with an automobile were close to the results of experiments with hardware and software complex, the divergence was relatively small: from 3 to 9 per cent. This fact confirms the possibility of using the given complex to impart elementary skills of driving a mobile machine when moving backward. To simplify driving a mobile machine when moving backward the method of driving a mobile machine when moving backward was suggested.
