The ability of off‐road vehicles, especially military vehicles, to traverse soft soils is an important aspect of their performance. Although a fair degree of accuracy can be important for vehicle‐terrain models that predict performance and speed across mixed terrains, it is equally important that a model can accurately compare the soft‐soil performance of wheeled and tracked vehicles and the effects of different vehicle configurations. An example of a vehicle‐terrain‐speed model is the NATO Reference Mobility Model (NRMM). For an armoured vehicle it is important that, for a given overall length and width, the internal volume is as large as possible and the vehicle profile is as low as possible. Even casual observation would suggest that a tracked vehicle running gear is much more space efficient than for a wheeled vehicle. The chapter shows a typical tyre traction‐slip curve measured in a soft cohesive soil with the DERA mobile tester.
