In this study, a method for establishing a prediction model of the engine output torques in tracked vehicles based on vehicle driving data was proposed, and the road rolling resistance coefficient f was further estimated using the model. First, the driving data from the tracked vehicle were collected and then screened by setting the driving conditions of the tracked vehicle. Then, the mapping relationship between the engine torque Te, the engine speed ne, and the accelerator pedal position \u03b2 was obtained by a genetic algorithm\u2013backpropagation (GA\u2013BP) neural network algorithm, and an engine output torque prediction model was established. Finally, based on the vehicle longitudinal dynamics model, the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm was used to estimate the f. The experimental results showed that when the driving state of the tracked vehicle satisfied the set driving conditions, the engine output torque prediction model could predict the engine output torque T^e in real time based on the changes in the ne and \u03b2, and then the RLS algorithm was used to estimate the road rolling resistance coefficient f^. The average coefficient of determination R of the T^e was 0.91, and the estimation accuracy of the f^ was 98.421%. This method could adequately meet the requirements for engine output torque prediction and real-time estimation of the road rolling resistance coefficient during tracked vehicle driving.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23177549","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,31]],"date-time":"2023-08-31T11:45:51Z","timestamp":1693482351000},"page":"7549","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Research on the Prediction Model of Engine Output Torque and Real-Time Estimation of the Road Rolling Resistance Coefficient in Tracked Vehicles"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8811-4285","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weijian","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Army Academy of Armored Forces, Beijing 100072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xixia","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Army Academy of Armored Forces, Beijing 100072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guodong","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CITIC Machinery Manufacturing Inc., Linfen 043000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuanqing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Army Academy of Armored Forces, Beijing 100072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CITIC Machinery Manufacturing Inc., Linfen 043000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1177\/0954407015584714","article-title":"An experimental and theoretical investigation into the roll-over of tracked vehicles","volume":"230","author":"Purdy","year":"2016","journal-title":"Proc.
