Abstract
Physical-geographic factors of terrain trafficability of military vehicles according to Western World methodologies
Highlights
The contemporary employment of the ground component of the armed forces, both in war and various peace operations and as assistance to the civilian population in times of crisis, includes a wide range of analysis of vehicle terrain trafficability
Once the studies have been carried out, a universal model is created for specific vehicles and their use in specific weather conditions, based on known relations and spatial analysis algorithms
The highest level of detail and accuracy of data is required for ride simulators and interactive applications used in movement planning for autonomous off-road vehicles
Summary
This paper analyses the existing state, limitations, and possibilities for research of physical-geographic factors in the context of terrain trafficability of military vehicles in order to support the military decision-making process regarding planning movements of military forces. This paper shows which models and research methodologies were used to ascertain how physical-geographical factors influence vehicle cross-country mobility. Recent studies have shown that the Geographic Information System (GIS) unifies the issues determining vehicle terrain trafficability, as it displays all possibilities in a single platform. U ovom se radu analizira postojeće stanje, ograničenja i mogućnosti istraživanja fizičko-geografskih čimbenika u kontekstu terenske prohodnosti vojnih vozila u svrhu potpore procesa donošenja vojnih odluka prilikom planiranja pokreta vojnih snaga. U novijim istraživanjima geografski informacijski sustav (GIS) autorima omogućuje sjedinjavanje cjelokupne problematike utvrđivanja terenske prohodnosti vozila jer objedinjuje sve mogućnosti na jedinstvenoj platformi. Ključne riječi: terenska prohodnost vozila, terenska mobilnost vozila, GIS modeliranje, vojna geografija
