Methodology for determining the impact of selected design changes on the traffic safety of military wheeled vehicles

This article presents a research methodology for assessing the impact of selected design changes on the traffic safety of military wheeled vehicles. The considerations concern traffic safety issues related to vehicle dynamics. Measurable effects include increased vehicle safety and the associated reduction in the risk of road accidents, lower construction costs for military wheeled vehicle applications, and a reduction in the time required to acquire vehicles for the Armed Forces.Building different versions of vehicles, not only military ones, on a base chassis is a common practice. The development of new wheeled vehicle designs by manufacturers involves the necessity of conducting traffic safety research. (…)
