Procedure for Categorizing Ground Vehicles

Abstract

The Modeling and Simulation (M&S) community models a large number of vehicle types. To ensure validity of these models, it's important to accurately represent vehicle mobility and logistical movements. Of course, the most accurate mobility representation would be to explicitly model each vehicle type. However, it is not practical to explicitly model every vehicle type in some applications, especially those simulating battalions and above. In those applications, vehicle classes are modeled instead of vehicles. When considering a particular vehicle, one must first determine which mobility category the vehicle falls into and then use the mobility of that category of vehicles to represent the trafficability of that vehicle. The following is a procedure for determining the appropriate mobility category or bin that represents a particular ground vehicle.
