Aconcept wheel force transducer has been developed that can measure the forces and moments between a tire and a road on a High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) driven under off-road conditions. The proposed wheel force transducer is an important step in correcting the gap in current tire testing and modeling knowledge to ensure that future off-road vehicle models and simulation efforts are conducted with confidence. In order to obtain tire characteristics over off-road terrain, cost-effective field test equipment was required.
