2. Traction (mechanics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_(mechanics)

   Traction can also refer to the maximum tractive force between a body and a surface, as limited by available friction; when this is the case, traction is often expressed as the ratio of the maximum tractive force to the normal force and is termed the coefficient of traction (similar to coefficient of friction).

3. Vehicle dynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics

   Vehicle dynamics is the study of vehicle motion, e.g., how a vehicle's forward movement changes in response to driver inputs, propulsion system outputs, ambient conditions, air/surface/water conditions, etc. Vehicle dynamics is a part of engineering primarily based on classical mechanics.

4. Tractive effort - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractive_effort

   Tractive effort can be theoretically calculated from a locomotive's mechanical characteristics (e.g., steam pressure, weight, etc.), or by actual testing with strain sensors on the drawbar and a dynamometer car. Power at rail is a railway term for the available power for traction, that is, the power that is available to propel the train.
