C. J. Nuttall reviewed articulated tracked vehicles from their earliest days and showed some of the possible steering configurations. A number of experimental tracked articulated vehicles were built by TACOM in the 1960s and 1970s. One of the great benefits of articulated steering compared to skid steering is that drive forces are equally divided between the outer and inner pairs of tracks. With skid steering, the outer tracks must develop drive forces and the inner tracks braking forces to produce a yaw moment to overcome the slewing friction moment. Articulated wheeled vehicles are widely used for various forms of earthmoving. The chapter compares the traction forces of the articulated vehicle (total of all four tracks) with the traction (and braking) forces of the skid steered vehicle. The articulated vehicle model is an adapted version of the wheeled skid and Ackermann steering models. A much larger articulated tracked vehicle is the Russian Vityaz series of vehicles.
