Innovative system for monitoring the tip over stability of mobile excavating machines on a tracked undercarriage

The article points out that the operational safety of mobile excavating machines can be significantly improved by equipping them with on-board systems for tip over stability monitoring. Critical analysis has been conducted on tip over stability monitoring systems available on the market. Their capabilities and limitations have been analysed. The second part of the article presents an innovative concept of on-board systems for monitoring tip over stability in tracked excavating machines. This concept was developed to create a device that would allow the vehicle's tip over stability to be monitored with greater accuracy and reliability compared to current systems of this type. The article also presents a demonstrator and a simulation model of the developed device. The final part of the article presents exemplary results obtained in preliminary simulation tests of the developed system.
