Abstract
A 3D animation of the response of a vehicle to forces imparted to the vehicle during conveyance thereof over a course. Sensor data are accepted by a processor that defines an instantaneous state of the vehicle. Forces imparted to the vehicle are computed from temporal changes in the state. Wheel slip is determined by the processor from the computed forces. A 3D graphical representation of the vehicle is rendered on a display as being in motion under influence of the wheel slip.
