This document forms the final report on the development of a concept wheel force transducer that can measure the forces and moments between a tire and a road on a HMMWV driven under off-road conditions. This concept development is part of a project that endeavors to develop, validate and calibrate cost effective field test equipment for measuring tire characteristics on vehicles whilst driving off-road. The proposed wheel force transducer is an important step in a renewed research effort that aims to correct the gap in current tire testing and modeling knowledge to ensure that future off-road vehicle models and simulation efforts are conducted with confidence. The report briefly describes the manufacturing, assembly and calibration of 4 wheel force transducers for use on the HMMWV. An interface drawing, for fitment of the wheel force transducer to other vehicles, is also supplied.
