A Fuzzy Simulation Model for Military Vehicle Mobility Assessment

Abstract

There has been increasing interest in improving the mobility of ground vehicles. The interest is greater in predicting the mobility for military vehicles. In this paper, authors review various definitions of mobility. Based on this review, a new definition of mobility called fuzzy mobility is given. An algorithm for fuzzy mobility assessment is described with the help of fuzzy rules. The simulation is carried out and its implementation, testing, and validation strategies are discussed.

Physical-geographic factors of terrain trafficability of military vehicles according to Western World methodologies

“…The analysis, data quality control, and modelling of terrain trafficability factors based on probabilistic and statistical theories using the Bayesian theorem were applied in the work of Laskey et al (2010). Modelling using fuzzy logic in models and analysis of terrain trafficability was applied by Atkinson et al (2005), George et al (2017), Hofmann et al (20132015), Slocum (2003), Talhofer et al (2015) in raster analysis, where simple Boolean logic 4 was upgraded using the set theory. Gustafsson and Hägerstrand (2005) applied a special approach 4 Boolean algebra is a part of mathematical logic where the values of the variables are defined by logical operators "true" and "false", which are usually indicated by values 1 and 0.…”
