Field of view in curves:
The distance rules mentioned
above are simple and can be verified easily. These rules will
be sufficient in many cases. However, if there are
bottlenecks in the area of bends, these rules may not be
precise enough. In bends, the turning of the drive unit must
be taken into consideration. In this case, you will have to
check the field of view of the distance sensors. While the
vehicle contour will require a certain travel distance behind
bends to be in line with the travel path again, the drive unit
and, as a consequence, the distance sensors will be turning
while the Weasel is traveling through the bend. Based on the
current position of the drive unit, there must always be a
clear area of 50 cm to the front and a 10 cm clearance on
the side.
If you need digital assistance when planning your travel path, you may want to use our free
planning/design software which is available for download on our website. With this software, you can
