A comprehensive method for prediction of off-road driven wheel performance is presented, assuming a parabolic wheel-soil contact surface. The traction performance of a driven wheel is predicted for both driving and braking modes. Simulations show significant non-symmetry of the traction performance of the driving and braking wheels. The braking force is significantly greater than the traction force reached in the driving mode. In order to apply the suggested model for prediction of the traction performance of a 4WD vehicle, the load transfer effect was considered. Simulated traction performances of front and rear driven wheels differ significantly, due to the load transfer. In the driving mode, the rear driven wheel develops a net traction force greater than that of the front wheel. On the other hand, in the braking mode the front driven wheel develops a braking force significantly greater than that of the rear driven wheel due to a pushed/pulled force affected by the load transfer. The suggested model was successfully verified by the data reported in literature and by full-scale field experiments with a special wheel-testing device. The developed approach may improve the prediction of off-road multi-drive vehicle traction performance.
