Abstract

A method for ascertaining a soil condition includes observing via a detection device, including a sensor, a kinematic behavior of a track drive caused by sinking when driving on a compressible underlying surface, and determining via an assessment device, including a processor connected to memory, at least one parameter characterizing the soil condition based in part on the observed kinematic behavior of the track drive.
