Vehicle motion
At this lecture we study types of the resistance applied on the vehicle during its motion:
1-Rolling resistance:-

Where:

Rr: the rolling resistance

K: constant from the given table.

W: weight of the vehicle

Uniform speed Badly Brocken Dry and well Loss sand

asphalt packed gravel
m.p.h km.p.h b/t Kg/tone b/t Kg/tone b/t Kg/tone
20 32.1 29.00 14.50 31.00 15.50 35.00 17.50
30 48.3 34.00 17.00 35.00 17.60 40.00 20.00
40 64.4 40.00 20.00 50.00 25.00 57.00 28.00
50 80.5 51.00 25.50 62.00 31.00 76.00 38.00
2- Air resistance:-
( )

( )

Where:

V: velocity

A: frontal area of the vehicle

3- Curve resistance:-

Rc : given from the table

40 120 64.4 53
50 240 80.5 108

4- Grade resistance: -

( )

Where:

W: weight of the vehicle

G: the value of the grade

5- Inerter resistance:-
( )

( )

W: weight of vehicle

a: acceleration

 Total resistance(R)

 Horse power(Hp)

 Notes: (u.s): are the United States of America units

b : pound is the unit of the weight. & m.p.h: mile per hour .
