3. DESCRIPTION:-
3.1.BAJA All-Terrain vehicle(ATV)
- INTRODUCTION
An all -terrain -vehicle (ATV),also known as quad,as defined light utility vehicle (LUV).
a quad bike,or simple a quad as defined by the ,American National Standard institute
(ANSI);is a vehicle travel on low pressure tires,with a seat that is straddled by the operator
along with handelbars for streeing control.
The ATV model is commonly called a four-wheeler in Australia,South Africa, parts of canada,india and the united states
of america.they are used extensively in agriculture, beacause of their speed and light footprint .by the current ANSI.
ATVs are intended for use single operator,although some companies have developed ATVs intended for use by the operator
and one passenger.these ATVs ..
The rider sits on the operator these vehicle like a motorcycle, but the extra wheels give more statbility at lower speed
atthough most are equiped with three or four wheels. six wheels models exists and existed histrically for specialized..
Application multiple user analogues with side-by-side seating are called utili terrain vehicle (UTVs) or side by side
to distinguish classes of vehicle.both class tend to have similar power terrain parts. Engine sizes of ATVs .
19th century ROYAL ENFIELD built and sold first powerd quadercycle in
1893.it had many bicycle components including handle baars ,The royal enfield resembles a modern ATV-style quad bike
but was designed as form of HORSELESS CARRIAGE for road use.
1.CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION : -
CVTs one of the advantages of a cvts its ability to continuous changes its gear ratio this means that no matter what
the engine speed it is always performing at its peak efficiency.CVTs often offer better fuel economy as a result especially
when the driving in the city..
Digital trends says that most occupied with CVTs offer a smoother ride than a similar car with a
Regular automatic this is the beacause transmission never shifts there is no abrupt downshifting when car needs additional
power and there is no feeling gear haunt that you sometimes feels with traditional automatic.
- BAJA ATV MODEL :-

A CVTs automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of gear ratio.
this contrast with other transmission that provide a limited number of gear ration.this contrast with
other transmission number gear ratios fixed step the flexibility of CVTs.are used..
automobile,tractors,motor, scooter, snowbiles,and earthmoving equipment
The most common type of CVTs used as two pulleys connected by a belt or chain,however several other design

The above figure consist of primary pully,variator which is connected to the primary pulley move inward such that radius
of primary pulley is less than the radius of secondary pulley which leads to speed reduction and when variator which is
connected to the primary pulley move inward then variotor which is connected to the primary pulleyis move outward
such that radius of secondary pulley which leads to overdrive.

not move vertically relative to the ground . Connection H is the mechanical translational conserving port associated with
horizental motion of the vehicle body . the resulting traction motion developed by tries should be connected to this port .

A look up table is an array of data that maps input values to output values , a lookup operation retrieves the
Corresponding output not explicit define the input values , simulink can estimate an output values using interpolation
Extrapolation , or rounding ..
Where ;
- An interpolation is a process for estimating values that lies between known data points .
- An extrapolation is a process for estimating values that beyond the range of known data points .
- A rounding is a process for approximating a values by altering its digit accordingly to known rule.
A look up table block uses an array of data to map input values to output values , approximation a
