This report provides step-by-step instructions for compiling a cross-country movement map from previously prepared factor overlays. The i nfor-mation on the factor overlays is combined, or synthesized, manually with or without the aid of a simple mathematical model. Three synthesis methods are given: ( 1 ) using a mathematical mode 1 ; ( 2) using a mathematical model with a programab 1 e calculator (HP-97), and (3) using a qualitative, non-mathematical procedure.

I. INTRODUCTION

Cross-country movement maps enable commanders to judge the relative ease of off-road movement for foot troops and vehicles. Off-road movement can be easy or difficult, depending on several terrain factors and on the ability of troops or vehicles to cope with certain terrain factors. The terrain factors include vegetation, slope, drainage, surface roughness, built-up areas, and soil. These factors are mapped on terrain factor overlays. The cross-country movement (CCM) map shows the combination of these factors and prediction of their combined effects on the movement of men * and machines. This combining of factors and their effects is called synthesizing. The CCM map is, then, a synthesis of terrain factor overlays.

This synthesis guide shows three methods of combining specific terrain factor overlays and using their legends and tables to determine speed categories for specific vehicles. Two methods use a simple mathematical model to determine speed categories. Thethird method uses a qualitative approach to determine movement categories. These methods enable the pro· duction of one CCM map for each type of vehicle concerned; i.e. one CCM map will not provide movement data for more than one type of vehicle. ** If movement data for more than one vehicle is required, more than one CCM map will be required.

The synthesis process means taking specific factor overlays out of the data base, placing a sheet of frosted mylar on the overlays one at a time, and tracing all the map unit boundaries on the different overlays onto the single sheet of mylar. This sheet of mylar, called the Complex Overlay, will become the base from which the CCM map will be made. Wjth the math modei, speed values for the combined factors on the Complex Overlay can be found. With the qualitative method, general speed categories for the combined factors on the Complex Overlay can be created without using a mathematical model.

The following diagram shows the basic steps in the general synthesis process for CCM:

* Cross-country movement for foot troops is not treated in this guide.

** In some instances, the map can present data for more than one vehicle, but the computations must be done separately for each vehicle and also for each season.

A. Introduction.

The mathematical model used in this guide* enables the analyst to assign an expected maximum vehicle speed to specific terrain. The model is a sequence of simple equations that take the maximum vehicle speed for an unobstructed flat surface and reduce that speed by calculated factors representing terrain elements that would prevent a vehicle from achieving its maximum speed (figure 1). These calculated factors reflect the slowing effect of certain slopes, vegetation, soil, surface roughness, and watercourses.

S2 = 51 x F1 or

51 x F2

51 = speed after slope effect (kph)

M = vehicle maximum speed (kph) 5 = slope (%)

G = vehicle gradability (%)

In section C, factor overlays for slope, vegetation, watercourses, surface roughness, and soil are combined (synthesized) to create the factor complex overlay. In section D, vehicle speeds are computed for each area on the Complex Overlay.

The following summaries and illustrations show the sequence of analysis steps found in these sections:

Sample Calculation:

Given: G = 60%

s = 10%

M = 50 kph

Then: s = 50 - ( 10) ( 50) 1 60

= 50 - 500 60

= 50 - 8.33

= 41.67 kph

b. If S1 < .5, the speed situation is NO GO . Mark an o:x 11

under the NO GO column in the Slope Factor Table (table 1) for map units where S1 < .5.

c. Record in the Slope Factor Table (table 1) the value of S1 for each map unit.

Step 5. Pull Vegetation Data Table l (figure 3) out of the data base. (Retain the Slope Factor Overlay for later use.) Make a Vegetation Factor Table like that in table 2. Fill in the Map UnH and Stern Spacing columns using the information listed in Vegetation Data Table 1. Fill in the Mean Stem Diameter column with the numbers in that column on Vegetation Data Table l divided by 100. For example, if a mean stem diameter listed on Vegetation Data Table 1 is 18, then .18 must be listed on the Vegetation Factor Table (table 2).

Step 6.

a. Find the override diameter in meters for the vehicle concerned (table 9).

b. Compare the mean stem diameter in meters to the override diameter value for each map unit recorded in table 2. If the mean stem diameter (SD) is greater than the override diameter (OD), i.e. SD> OD, calculate F1 as shown in "c" below. If the mean stem diameter (SD) is less than or equal to the override diameter (OD), i.e. SD< OD, calculate F1 as shown in "c" below and, also, F2 as shown in 11 g11 bel0w.

c. Calculate F1 for each map unit in table 2 by substituting vehicle values and vegetation values into the following equation and solving:

f. If F1 and F2 have the same value, (F 1 = F2 ), cross out the F1 value on table 2.

Step 8. Pull the Surface Roughness Factor Overlay (figure 4) out of the data base. Using the legend on the overlay, make a table like that in table 3.

Step 9.

a. Pull the Soil Data Table (figure 5) out of the data base. Make a Soil Factor Table like that in table 4.

b. Use the information in the Soil Data Table to fill in the map unit column of table 4 with each map unit's number and Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) symbol for the top 15 to 30 cm (centimenters) of the soil, if available. Record the associated RCiary and RCiwet for this soil layer as found in the Soil Data Table. (If this specific layer of soil is not given on the Soil Data Table, simply use what is given.)

c. For map units with the following Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) symbols shown on the Soil Data Table, fill in the F4 DRY and F4 WET columns on table 4 with the number 1:

'The legend for surface roughness given here is for illustration purposes only. At the time of printing, surface roughness categories were still under development as part of the forthcoming Terrain Analyst Guide for surface configuration. It is anticipated that the final surface roughness categories will be as few as four: smooth, irregular, broken, rugged.

RCiw = rating cone index for soil type under wet conditions, found in the Soil Data Table (figure 5) or table 11.

=vehicle cone index for one pass, found in table 9.

VCI 50 =vehicle cone index for 50 passes, found in table 9.

Sample Calculation:

Given: RCI 0 = 46

VCI 1 = 45

VCI 50 = 60

Then: F4D = 46 - 45 60 - 45

1 = I5

= .07

Record the F4 values for these map units in table 4. If any F4 value is greater than 1, (F4u > l or F4w :::> lL- change it to_ 1, (F4-D = 1 or F4w_ = 1 ).

Step 10. Pull the ~latert'ourses and Water Bodies Data Tables (fiqures 6 and 7) out of the data base. (Put the soil overlay aside for later use.) Usina the Watercourses and Water Bodies Data Tables, make a Movement Analysis of Drainage Features table like table 5.

a. List the feature (watercourse or water body) ID number in the first column of table 5, and the segment letters in the second column.

b. Refer to the vehicle performance characteristics table in table 9 and extract the following performance characteristics; record in ta bi e 5.

Max. fording depth w/o snorkel 4a

Max. vertical obstacle height 5a

Vehicle approach angle 6a

Max. stream velocity vehicle 7a can cross (m/s)

Vehicle Cone Index, 1 pass (VCl1) Ba

c. Use Watercourses and Water Bodies Data Tables 1 and 2 (figures 6 and 7), and enter the data for each segment of each feature in table 5. If only a dry season CCM map is to be prepared, enter data for dry season only. If only a wet season CCM map is to be prepared, enter data for wet season only. If CCM maps are to be prepared for both wet and dry seasons, enter data for both wet and dry seasons. As each entry is made, compare it with the preceding entry in the row for the vehicle performance. If the watercourse value exceeds that of the vehicle -performance, re1:0rd NO GO -i-n the fol lowing space and stop the analysis for that segment.

Bank height and bank slope conditions are considered together as shown in figure 8.

C. Procedures for Constructing the Complex Overlay.*

Step 1. Decide which type of Complex Overlay is to be prepared, based on the type of CCM map to be produced. If only a wet season CCM map is to be produced, base the Complex Overlay on data for wet season conditions only. (The sample Complex Overlays in this part of the guide are for the wet season.) If a dry season CCM map or both wet and dry season maps are required, base the Complex Overlay on data for dry season conditions.

Step 2.

a. Take the film positive or the lithographic map and aerial photos out of the data base. Place them on a table. Take a clean sheet of frosted mylar, the same size as the film or lithographic map, and place it, frosted side up, on top of the film or litho map. Pin-register them or tape them together. Trace the corner tick marks on the mylar with a black fine-line pencil. Trace the neat line on the mylar lightly with a blue fine-line pencil.

b. Look through the mylar to find the built-up areas. They will appear as clusters of building symbols or sometimes as tinted areas. Using a black fine-line pencil, draw an angular outline that will tightly enclose clusters of building symbols or tinted areas that cover an area larger than this circle ~ .** Color in these outlined areas with a

red fine-line pencil as in figure 9. (Aerial photos may be used to update the extent of the built-u_11 area5-.)

Step 3.

a. Remove the mylar sheet (which wil.l now be called the Complex Overlay). Pull the Vegetation Factor Overlay (figure 10) out of the Data Base. Put the Complex Overlay on top of the Vegetation Overlay. Pin­register (or match corner ticks and tape the sheets together).

b. Trace all the lines of the Factor Overlay onto the Complex Overlay with a black fine-line pencil. Do not draw any lines through colored areas already on the Complex Overlay. If a new line nearly coin­cides with a line already drawn on the Complex Overlay, and the space between them is smaller than this c:J***, do not draw the new line.

* Based on procedures devised by A.O. Hastings, Terrain Analysis Ceqter, USAETL.

2 ** Represents an area of .25 km at 1:50,000 scale (dia. 5.6 mm).

*** 100 meters at 1:50,000 (2 mm dia.)

c. Referring to table 2, note all the vegetation map units that are NO GO. Color these in with a yellow fine-line pencil as in figure 11. Ignore areas smaller than this circle~ .

Step 4.

.a. Remove the Complex Overlay from the Vegetation Factor Over­lay. Put the Vegetation Factor Overlay aside for later use. Pull the Watercourses and Water Bodies Factor Overlay (figure 12) out of the data base. Place the Complex Overlay (which now may have red areas, yellow areas, and black lines on it) on top of the Watercourses and Water Bodies Factor Overlay. Pin-register (or match corner ticks and tape).

b. Trace and color in all drainage features shown as NO GO during the dry season in table 5 with a blue fine-line pencil as shown in figure 13. Trace all drainage features shown as NO GO only during the wet season in red.

Step 5.

a. Remove the Complex Overlay from the Watercourses and Water Bodies Factor Overlay. Put this Factor Overlay aside for later use. Pull the Surface Roughness Factor Overlay (figure 14) out of the data base. Place the Complex Overlay on top of the Surface Roughness Overlay. Pin­register (or match corner ticks and tape).

b. Trace all the lines of the Factor Overlay onto the Complex Overlay with a black fine-line pencil. Do not draw any lines through colored areas already on the Complex Overlay. If a new line nearly coin­cides with a line already drawn on the Complex Overlay and the space between them is smaller than this circle ~, do not draw the new line.

c. Look in table 3 and find all the NO GO Surface Roughness map units. Looking through the Complex Overlay, find any NO GO areas on the Surface Roughness Factor Overlay and color them in with a yellow fine-line pencil as in figure 14.

b. Trace all the lines on the Factor Overlay onto the Complex Overlay with a black fine-line pencil. Do not draw any lines through colored areas already on the Complex Overlay. If a new line nearly coincides with a line already drawn on the Complex Overlay and the space between them is smaller than this circlec:). do not draw the new line.

c. Look in table 1 and find all the NO GO slope map units for the vehicle under consideration. Find these NO GO areas on the Complex Overlay. Color them in with a yellow fine-line pencil as in figure 15.

Step 7.

a. Remove the Complex Overlay from the Slope Factor Overlay. Put the Slope Factor Overlay aside for later use. Pull the Soil Factor Overlay (figure 16) out of the data base. Pin-register (or match corner tick marks and tape).

b. Trace all the lines on the Factor Overlay onto the Complex Overlay with a black fine-line pencil. Do not draw any lines through colored areas already on the Complex Overlay. If a new line nearly coin­cides with a line already drawn on the Complex Overlay and the space between them is smaller than this circlec:), do not draw the new line.

c. Look in table 4 and find all the NO GO soils for the season (wet or dry) being considered. Find these NO GO areas that appear on the overlay. Color them in with a yellow fine-line pencil as in figure 17.

Step 8.

a. Remove the Complex Overlay from the Soil Factor Overlay. Put the Soil Factor Overlay aside. The Complex Overlay now has many uncolored, irregularly shaped and sized areas formed by all the inter­secting black lines drawn on it.

b. Starting in the upper left corner of the Complex Overlay, number these uncolored areas from left to right, consecutively from 1 to 99, in such a way as to number a rectangular portion of the sheet (figure 18) .

c. Draw a heavy black pencil line around the border of the large rectangular area. This area is now Sector A. Label the sector by putting a letter A in a conspicuous spot, as in figure 18.

Note that figure 18 represents only a portion of a map sheet and therefore has only one lettered sector. Most Complex overlays will have several hundred numbered areas and several sectors as shown in the diagram below.

D. Procedures for Computing Speeds.

Step 1. On a separate piece of paper prepare a Speed Prediction Tabulation Sheet for each sector like that in table 6.

Step 2.

a. Retrieve the Slope Factor Overlay. Place the Complex Overlay on top of the Slope Factor Overlay (figure 2). Register.

b. Go to Sector A, Area 1. Look through the Complex Overlay, (or pick up the corner) to see what slope map unit lies under Area 1. * Record this map unit on the Speed Prediction Tabulation Sheet #1 on the row for Area 1 under the left slope column.

c. Go to table 1 and find the S1 Factor that corresponds to the slope map unit for Area 1. Record this number on the row for Area 1 under the right slope column.

d. Repeat steps b and c until all numbered Areas in Sector A are completed. (If it is discovered that an area was mistakenly not given a number, at this time simply assign it with the number of its left neighboring area plus a small letter, e.g. la. Insert la between 1 and 2 on the Speed Prediction Tabulation Sheet #1.)

e. Repeat steps band c for all remaining sectors until all the numbered areas on the overlay have been given S1 values.

Step 3.

a. Remove the Slope Factor Overlay from.the Complex Overlay. Put the Slope Factor Overlay back in the data base.

b. Retrieve the Vegetation Factor Overlay. Place the Complex Overlay on top of the Vegetation Factor Overlay. Register.

c. Go to Sector A, Area 1. Look through the Complex Overlay, (or pick up the corner) to see what Vegetation Map unit lies under Area 1. Record this map unit on the Speed Prediction Tabulation Sheet on the row for Area 1 under the left vegetation column.

* In some cases, a single area of the Complex Overlay may lie over parts of two map units on the factor overlay because of omission of lines that nearly coincide during the complexing phase. Use the factor map unit that occupies the greater portion of the complex area.

B. Procedures

Step 1. Perform a movement analysis of drainage features as required in section II B, Step 10.

Step 2. Prepare a Factor Complex Overlay as required in section II. Show built-up areas and drainage obstacles, but do not show other NO GO areas It is not necessary to compute S1 or any of the F values at this time. ·

Step 3. On a separate sheet of paper, prepare a Speed Prediction Tabulation Sheet #2, as in table 8.

Step 4.

a. Retrieve the Slope Factor Overlay. Place the Complex Overlay on top of the Slope Factor Overlay. Register.

b. Go to Sector A, Area 1 on the Complex Overlay. Look through the Complex Overlay (or pick up the corner) to see what slope map unit lies under Area 1. Record this map unit on the Speed Prediciton Tabulation Sheet #2 on the row for Area l under the left Slope column. Under the right Slope column, labeled "value", write the highest value for that map unit. For example, slope map unit A may include slopes from 0 to 3 percent. In this case, record A in the left Slope column, and 3 in the right Slope column as in table 8.

c. Repeat Step b above for the remaining areas in Sector A.

d. Repeat Step b and c above for the remaining sectors on the Comp 1 ex Overlay.

Step 5.

a. Remove the Slope Factor Overlay from the Complex Overlay. Put the Slope Factor Overlay back in the data base.

Table 1. Register.

b. Retrieve the Vegetation Factor Overlay and Vegetation Data Place the Complex Overlay on top of the Vegetation Factor Overlay.

c. Go to Sector A, Area 1. Look through the Complex Overlay, (or pick up a corner) to see what Vegetation Map Unit lies under ~rea 1. ~ecord this map unit in the row for Area 1 under the left Veaetat~on column on the Speed Prediction Tabulation ShePt #2. Look on the Veqetat1on Data Table l and find the stem soacing value and the mean stem diameter value for that map unit. Convert. the stem diameter value from centimeters to meters, i.e. 18 cm= .18 m. Record these values in their proper columns in the row for Area 1 on the Speed Prediction Tabulation Sheet #2, table 8.

IV. Qualitative Method - No-Model Approach

A. Introduction

This method * presents only three categories of Cross-Country Movement.

NO GO

SLOW GO

GO

Movement precluded except in local areas, or so difficult and tortuous that progess is essentially nil.

Movement restricted or significantly slowed by obstacles that require bypassing, zigzagging, or detouring.

Movement mostly free and easy.. At least moderate speeds can be maintained for relatively long distances. Few, if any, time-consuming detours required to avoid obstacles.

To obtain these categories, all the factor overlays are examined for clearly NO GO and GO areas. These areas are transferred to the Complex Overlay. Then the factor overlays are re-examined with the aid of avail­able maps, air photos, or literature to determine the nature of the SLOW GO areas, and perhaps extend the GO and NO GO areas.

With this method, a CCM map may be produced in less time than with the model methods, but the movement categories will be more general and qualitative.

* Method is based on one developed by A.H. Reimer and H.F. Barnett, USAETL TAC.

85

B. Procedures

Step 1.

table 9:

Step 2.

a. Determine for what vehicle the CCM map is being prepared.

b. Obtain the following specifications for that vehicle from

Maximum slope (road gradability) (percent). Maximum fording depth (m) (with or without snorkel). Approach angle (degrees). Vehicle width (m). Vehicle override diameter (m). Vehicle cone index, 50 passes (VCI 50 ).

c. Record this information on a reference table like the. following:

VEHICLE TYPE - M-60

Maximum Slope (Road Gradability) (%) 60

Maximum Fording Depth (m) 1.22

Approach Angle (0) 43

Vehicle Width (m) 3.63

Vehicle Override Diameter (m) 0.15

Vehicle Gane ~ndex, SO passes {VG! 50 i 70

a. Take the film positive or the lithoqraphic map and the aerial photos out of the data base. Place them on a table. Take a clean sheet of frosted mylar, the same size as the film or lithographic map. and place it, frosted side up, on top of the film or lithographic map. Pin-register them or tape them together. Trace the corner tick marks on the mylar with a black fine-line pencil. Trace the neat line on the mylar lightly with a blue fine-line pencil.

b. Look through the mylar to find built-up areas. They will appear as clusters of building symbols or sometimes as tinted areas. Using a black fine-line pencil, draw an angular outline that will tightly enclose clusters of building symbols or tinted areas that cover an area larger

86

Page 89: ETL-0220 'Synthesis guide for cross-country movement

than this circle~-* This sheet of mylar is now known as the Complex

Overlay. Mark the built-up areas with the letter 11 N11•

Step 3.

a. Remove the Complex Overlay.

b. Pull the Vegetation Factor Overlay and Vegetation Data Table 1 out of the data base. Register the Complex Overlay over the Factor Overlay.

c. Referring to Vegetation Data Table 1 and the table made in Step 1, not~ the map units with stem spacing equal to or less than the width of the vehicle. Trace the outlines of these map units with a black fine-line pencil.

d. Referring again to Vegetation Data Table 1 and the table made in Step l, trace the outlines of all the vegetation areas that have mean stem diameters greater than the maximum vehicle override diameter.

e. Mark all the overlapping areas outlined in Steps 3c and d with the 1 etter 11 N11

, which represents NO GO.

f. Trace the outlines of all the areas that have no trees, small trees (less than the maximum.vehicle override diameter) or brush, or widely spaced trees (stem spacing greater than the vehicle width). Mark these areas with a 11 G11

, representing GO. If these areas should overlap an 11 N11

area, change the 11 G11 in the overlapped section to 11 N".

Step 4.

a. Replace the Vegetation Overlay with the Watercourses and Water Bodies Factor Overlay. Register.

b. Referring to the table made in Step 1, and the Watercourses and Water Bodies Data Tables 1 and 2, trace in blue all drainage reaches that have depths greater than the maximum vehicle fording depth, approach angles greater than the maximum for the vehicle, and any of the bottom conditions with RCiwet listed in table 11 that are less than VCI 50 . Mark these areas with an "N".

c. Trace the outlines of all swamps and marshes in blue. Label these with an "N".

*Represents an area of 0.25 km2 at 1:50,000 scale.

87

Page 90: ETL-0220 'Synthesis guide for cross-country movement

Step 5.

a. Replace the Watercourses and Water Bodies Factor Overlay with the Surface Roughness Factor Overlay. Trace the outline of all map unit Areas 8. Label these with an "N". If these overlap an area marked 11 G11

,

be sure to change the 11 G11 area boundary to exclude the 11 N11 area.

b. Trace the outline of all map unit Areas 1. Label these with a 11 G11

• If these overlap with an 11 N11 area already on the Complex Overlay, be sure to change the 11 G11 area boundary to an 11 N11 area for that overlapped space.

Step 6.

a. Replace the Surface Roughness Overlay with the Slope Factor Overlay. Trace the outline of the areas with slopes greater than the vehicle maximum slope. Label these areas with an 11 N11

• An 11 N'1 overlapping a 11 G11 becomes an 11 N11 for that overlapped spaced.

b. Trace the outline of the areas with slopes less than 10 per­cent. Label these with a 11 G11

• If the 11 G11 overlaps an 11N11 area already on the Complex Overlay, the overlapped space remains an 11 N11

Step 7.

a. Replace the Slope Factor Overlay with the Soil Factor Over­~· Trace outlines of all OL, OH, and Pt soil categories. Label these with an 11 N11

• Any 11 N11 overlapping a 11 G11 becomes an 11 N11•

b. For Wet Conditions, follow Step 7a, but add all ML and CL soil categori_es_. -Label with _an 11N11

c. Trace outlines for all GW, GP, GM, and GC soil categories. Label these with a 11 G11

• Any 11G11 overlapping an 11 N11 becomes an 11 N11 for that overlapped space.

Step 8. Remove the Complex Overlay. On the Complex Overlay, combine adjoining areas having the same letter.

Step 9.

a. The rema1n1ng space on the Complex Overlay is probably SLOW GO. Label the remaining areas on the Complex Overlay 11 S11 for SLOW GO. If aerial photos, maps, or literature are available, they should be examined for the areas labeled SLOW GO to see if there may be some GO and NO GO areas included in them. For example, air photos or written descrip­tions in the Hterature may reveal highly dissected terrain that might

88

Page 91: ETL-0220 'Synthesis guide for cross-country movement

make part of the area NO GO, or reveal sand dunes stabilized by enough vegetation to make part of the area GO. Use the Qualitative Thresholds for CCM (table 13) to help locate these extra NO GO and GO areas. The 11 Good 11

movement condition on table 13 corresponds to GO; 11 Fai r 11 and 11 Poor 11

corresponds to SLOW GO; and "Blocked" corresponds to NO GO.

b. Make the Complex Overlay neat (redraw if necessary), making sure that areas less than ~ inch in the least dimension are combined with another category. Match all four sides with adjoining CCM sheets, and add the legend and marginal information. Edit the finished manuscript to ensure that it is completed and ready for drafting or distribution.
