Research on vehicle mobility in snow has recently become significantly updated by the use of instrumented vehicles. Utilizing tri-axial load cells in the front wheel assemblies, the vehicles are capable of measuring the traction anf motion resistance forces located at the tire/snow interface. Based on these measured quantities, snow surface characterization parameters are developed. Also, using an energetics approach, a tire performance parameter is developed which offers a measure of the slip-shear energy expended by a tire in moving a unit distance. (Wassmann)
