Abstract: The last version of the ISTVS standards was published in the Journal of Terramechanics in 1977. Since then, the document has not been updated, although new concepts, techniques, testing procedures, and technology have been developed in the last 40 years, which renders some content of the 1977 ISTVS standards outdated and in-complete. The ISTVS identified as a priority the need to develop a set of standards for terminology and testing for modern day research on off-road mobility. This paper, for which the work has been funded in part by ISTVS, is an updated version of the 1977 ISTVS standards and covers a range of aspects in off-road mobility for: vehicles, tires, tracks, soil, wheels, modelling approaches, test methods, and equipment.
