Experiments to measure the side-slip angle of an articulated vehicle were conducted using a wheel loader equipped with displacement, global positioning system (GPS), and fibre-optic gyro (FOG) sensors. In addition, a constant circular turn of the articulated vehicle in a horizontal plane was simulated using equations of motion for a vehicle with no tractive force. The cornering stiffness between tire and unpaved ground was determined by comparing the experimental and simulation results.
