Comparative Analysis of the Mobility Assessment Methods for Tracked Vehicles
PARTYKA Jacek
download PDFAbstract. The article presents the methods of determining the mobility of tracked vehicles, as well as a comparative analysis of the mobility of these vehicles on dirt roads and soil characterised by low bearing capacity. As part of the comparative analysis, a general description of the individual mobility assessment methods is presented, along with the indicator characteristics, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the methods, when compared to others presented in the article. In the comparative analysis of the military vehicle mobility assessment, the means, by which mobility parameters were determined, the possibility of the practical application of a given approach, as well as its accuracy were considered.
