Numerical analysis was developed to calculate the steering properties of a rigid suspension tracked vehicle turning on soft terrain. The developed numerical analysis is based on a method to solve a set of non-linear equations. To verify the numerical analysis, an experiment on a model-tracked vehicle turning with a steering ratio of 1.6 on loose sandy terrain was carried out. The comparison between measured and calulated values shows that the numerical analysis can predict sinkage, slip ratios and turning radius within within an error amount of 15%.
