ABSTRACT

Soils trafficability is measure of soil strength required to support the manoeuvring of military vehicles. Trafficability can be measured with the tests performed using cone penetrometer and moisture metre to understand the complexity of phenomenon. Empirical relation can be developed through the outcomes of these tests. This empirical relation can be used in tandem with geospatial data to understand the heterogeneous soil behaviour and its impact on trafficability. Further, it will enhance the remote sensing data capability to assess the trafficability in inaccessible areas. In this study, a numerical approach is described in which geo-parameters like land use, soil, elevation and moisture are quantified using various data sources such as remote sensing and ground survey information. Terrain similarity analysis was performed to find analogous soil patches of homogenous nature. The aim of this paper is to outline a procedure, which will be useful for off-road trafficability studies. The current advancement in remote sensing technologies and ground survey from digital equipment was used to have better accuracy of results along with better understanding of utilization of geo-spatial data. It will pave the way to analyse the terrain suitability for off-road trafficability operation.

摘要

土壤的可运输性是支持军车机动所需的土壤强度的量度。可以通过使用锥形针入度计和湿度计进行的测试来测量可通行性，以了解现象的复杂性。可以通过这些测试的结果来建立经验关系。该经验关系可以与地理空间数据一起使用，以了解土壤的异质性及其对交通性的影响。此外，它将增强遥感数据的能力，以评估无法进入地区的交通能力。在这项研究中，描述了一种数值方法，其中使用各种数据源（例如遥感和地面勘测信息）对诸如土地利用，土壤，海拔和湿度等地理参数进行量化。进行地形相似性分析以发现具有相似性质的相似土壤斑块。本文的目的是概述一种程序，这将对越野交通能力研究很有用。利用遥感技术和数字设备的地面勘测技术的最新进步，可以更好地获得结果的准确性，并更好地了解地理空间数据的利用。这将为分析地形适合越野行车操作铺平道路。
