On the mobility of cross-country vehicles, with emphasis on modeling their dynamic motion

Abstract

The study presents reviews the basic principles governing the motion in crosse-country vehicle operation. The study then examines the cross-country vehicle computational modeling method developed by his group for the Hungarian Army The study describes the general structure of this model and shows how to compute the vehicle velocity constrained by vibrational acceleration and presents some of the results (outputs) of these computations. Finally the author evaluates the results they have accomplished under this research project and outlines what steps seem to be necessary for further progress. This study was performed under the sponsorship of the U.S. Army European Research Office.
