3、 performance. Various A-UGVs are designed to be operated both indoors andoutdoors under conditions specified by the manufacturer. Likewise, end users of the A-UGV will beoperating these vehicles in a variety of environmental conditions. When conducting and replicatingCommittee F45 test methods by ve

4、hicle manufacturers and users, it is important to specify and recordthe environmental conditions under which the A-UGV is tested as there will be variations in vehicleperformance caused by the conditions, especially when comparing and replicating sets of test results.It is also important to consider

5、 changes in environmental conditions during the course of operations(for example, transitions between conditions). As such, environmental conditions specified in thispractice are both continuous and transitional; with the A-UGV stationary or in motion. This practiceprovides brief introduction to the

6、 following list of environmental conditions that can affectperformance of the A-UGV: lighting, external sensor emission, temperature, humidity, electricalinterference, ground surface, air quality.This practice then breaks down each condition into sub-categories so that the user can record thevarious

7、 aspects associated with the category when conductingA-UGV tests defined in Committee F45Test Methods , , those listed in the Related Materials section, and Terminology F3200.Itisrecommended that salient environment conditions be recorded when conducting Committee F45 testmethods, but is not require

8、d.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes a means to record the followingenvironmental conditions that may affect the performance ofA-UGVs: lighting, external sensor emission, temperature,ground surface, air quality, humidity, and electrical interfer-ence.1.2 The A-UGV operating ranges for each of the c

9、onditionslisted in 1.1 are described and parameterized in Section 4 andallow a basis for performance comparison in test methods. Theapproach is to divide the list of environmental conditions intosub-conditions that represent the various aspects of the majorcategory (for example, sunlight within ambi

10、ent lighting).Where necessary, this practice also provides guidelines (forexample, lighting direction) to record environmental condi-tions in an existing environment.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are not precisemathematical conve

They are closeapproximate equivalents for the purpose of specifying materialdimensions or quantities that are readily available to avoidexcessive fabrication costs of test apparatuses while maintain-ing repeatability and reproducibility of the test method results.These value

12、s given in parentheses are provided for informationonly and are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environ

The temperature exposure on theA-UGV can be continuous or transitional while the vehicle isstationary or moving. Temperature ranges span from low tohigh extremes expressed in five categories. Temperatu

36、re varia-tions can affect onboard electronics, create condensation, causehydraulic fluid viscosity, reduce battery life and recharge rate.4.3.2 Temperature Exposure:4.3.2.1 ContinuousA single temperature for a period oftime.4.3.2.2 TransitionalMoving between two continuous tem-perature levels.4.3.3

High humidity combinedwith dew point temperature causes condensation that can shortelectronics and affect lenses and other A-UGV components.Greater than 60 % humidity caus

39、es a large increase in corro-sion of metallic parts. Low humidity, on the other hand, willsee a dramatic rise in static electricity and the need foradequate discharge.4.4.2 Relative Humidity Level:4.4.2.1 Low less than 30 %.4.4.2.2 Moderately Low 31 to 55 %.4.4.2.3 Moderately High 56 to 75%.4.4.2.4

Most ground vehicles havea floating g

41、round and all electronics are typically grounded tothe vehicle chassis. As static builds up causing the voltagedifference between the positive lead of the battery and thechassis to change, the performance of the electronic compo-nents of the vehicle may be negatively impacted. Strongmagnetic fields

42、can impact the onboard electrical components,in particular any data storage within the onboard computer.Many A-UGVs require wireless network connections for fullfunctionality.
