Abstract

We develop Distributed Inclination Sensors (DISs) to measure the distributed inclination of track shoes, i.e., determining where a tracked vehicle clutches road bumps using the reflection-intensity inclination of track shoes due to dead weight. We confirmed in experiments that dead weight on a slope is a major factor in measurement error.
