The AMC '74 Mobility Model

Abstract

The AMC '74 Mobility Model is an improved, updated and extended revision of the AMC '71 Mobility Model. The main improvements include: specifications for axle-by-axle traction, braking and resistance calculations with recently developed equations to simulate slippery soil, muskeg and snow interaction; a corrected acceleration/deceleration model; enhanced scenario input specifications; a road module simulating travel on primary, secondary roads and trails; an improved hasty river and dry linear feature crossing module; a vehicle preprocessor module and a terrain preprocessor module; an improved obstacle crossing module; and an updated ride dynamics module.
