MOBILITY ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH STUDY MOBILITY TESTING PROCEDURES

Abstract

Test procedures to be used for the evaluation of off-road vehicle mobility performance are presented. The development of a quantitative evaluation system represents an important step in the design of proper off-road vehicle tests. The procedures are presented as nine Annexes, entitled: (1) Drawbar-Pull; (2) Torque; (3) Vehicle Speed; (4) Vehicle Sinkage and Trim; (5) Resistance to Towing; (6) Fuel Consumption; (7) Load Distribution and Ground Pressure; (8) Determination of Land Locomotion Soil Values; and (9) Determination of WES Soil Parameters.
