  • Abstract
    General land locomotives for surveillance systems are not highly efficient when compared to the sand locomotives because of slipping in sand. In loose sand the coherent force between two particles is very less thus making the system slip easily. Thus the rover should have contact up to some depth in the sand and now with that grip in it, it should move to the next step. Similarly the proposed sand rover system here has the capability to move in the loose sand of desert regions. It can also move as a normal vehicle which can be transformed manually. A surveillance system is placed in it along with a solar panel for supply. It is controlled through wireless DTMF (dual tone multiple frequency) system. This method is efficient in all terrains in for the purpose of surveillance.
