Abstract :
Experimental results are applied in order to enable fuzzy logic modelling of the vehicle-ground interactions in an integrated manner. These results illustrate the complexity of modelling systematically the ground conditions and the necessity of using two variables in identifying the surface properties. Experimental results are used in the analysis from a single seat electric wheeled skid steer vehicle ARISTOS under steady-state conditions and a variety of motions and surfaces. The methodology suggested is validated for a variety of surfaces
