Ramp travel index

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004690

A measurement used in off-roading to quantify a vehicle's suspension articulation and its ability to keep all four wheels on the ground over uneven terrain. It is calculated by driving one wheel up a ramp until another wheel lifts off the ground, then dividing the distance traveled up the ramp by the vehicle's wheelbase and multiplying by 1000. A higher RTI score indicates greater articulation.
