Trafficability

I've been an advocate of lifting the curfew for some time, and many of you probably know that it's been a matter of priority for the city council of the city of Baghdad as well as the district councils of Karkh and Karadah on either side of the river to get that bridge back open because of the trafficability (ph) challenges in Baghdad. ❋ Unknown (2003)

A primary goal of engineer reconnaissance at the operational level is to provide comprehensive information on the trafficability of march routes. ❋ United States Army (1998)

Reconnaissance determines the condition and trafficability of movement routes and the trafficability of off-road terrain, including bridge conditions and detour routes. ❋ United States Army (1998)

Troop movement routes and trafficability on off-road terrain. ❋ United States Army (1998)

Will variations in trafficability or lane width force changes in formations or movement techniques or require defile drills? ❋ United States Army (1998)

The zone reconnaissance is normally conducted when the enemy situation is vague or when information concerning cross-country trafficability is required. ❋ United States Army (1998)

The habitats landed at the base site which will be preselected for trafficability can have wheels attached to their landing gear legs, and then, with the aid of a cable and windlass, be rolled together to be either mated up directly or connected with the aid of inflatable tunnels. ❋ Robert Zubrin (1996)

Therefore, knowledge of the effects of the weather on trafficability will have great bearing on the timing and nature of operations. ❋ United States Army (1992)

Deserts can have extremes of cold and heat, good visibility and blinding sandstorms, drought and sudden rains, water shortages and flash floods, and good trafficability and interspersed obstacles. ❋ United States Army (1992)

Therefore, the effects of the weather on wheel and track trafficability and on air and amphibious mobility are more significant to the counterinsurgent force. ❋ United States Army (1992)

For example, wider, lower-pressure tires can improve trafficability on wet soils and reduce compaction. ❋ Unknown (2010)
