The invention relates to a tracked vehicle having a plurality of wheels (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) and a track (10) extending around the wheels (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) wherein there is provided means for generating a signal indicative of the track force applied to at least one wheel. The track force on a wheel is the force applied to the wheel by the vehicle track (10) due to tensile forces in the track (10). The invention also provides means for determining the force applied on a wheel (A) resulting from the interaction of the wheel (A) with the ground over which the vehicle passes which comprises a first signal generating means (26) which generates a signal indicative of the force transmitted from the wheel (A) to the vehicle body, second signal generating means (29, 30, 37) which generates signals indicative of the track force applied to the wheel and processor means (30) for combining the signals generated by the first and second signal generating means to remove from the signals indicative of the force transmitted from the wheel to the vehicle body those signals attributable to the track force applied to the wheel. |
